For the second time in three days police surrounded a Marshalltown home with a SWAT team, but they still haven’t found the murder suspect they’re seeking.

The Marshalltown Police Department Tuesday surrounded a home on the north side of the city after receiving a tip that 19-year-old Jose Morales was hiding there. A SWAT team used tear gas and entered the home, but did not find Morales.

Morales is charged with first degree murder in connection with the shooting death of 20 year old Dedrikk Fisher last Saturday night in Marshalltown.
