DES MOINES — A Des Moines man is in the Polk County Jail, following reports of gunfire inside of an apartment that hurt a pet early Sunday.
Police were called to an apartment complex near SE King Avenue and SE 22nd Street before 5:15 a.m. Sunday.
When officers arrived, they said the suspect, Missael Campos, ran away. They say Campos tried to target a 19-year-old man, of whom they say the suspect was arguing with.
