ADAMS COUNTY, Iowa — Law enforcement in southwest Iowa are looking for a man considered "armed and dangerous" with connections to multiple cities within the state.

A 911 call was placed to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office on Jan. 12 in reference to a shots fired call in the 1500 block of Quince Avenue, according to a release.

The suspect, identified Dillon Allen Paul Lester, was believed to be in possession of a firearm and fired multiple rounds at the victims. 

The sheriff's office says a vehicle matching the description of Lester's was located in Des Moines later that day, and that it "contained spent ammunition and a blown out back window."

When deputies came in contact with Lester and a female shortly after the incident, he was uncooperative and has been unable to reach since.
