Murder charges filed after death of Mason City shooting victim

The victim in last week’s shooting in Mason City has died and the man accused of shooting her is charged with murder.

Nineteen-year-old Samantha Teeter was shot in the head during an incident in an apartment complex shortly before 4 o’clock Friday morning.

Teeter was transported from Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa in Mason City to St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester where she died Sunday afternoon of cardiac failure.

60-year-old Larry Whaley is accused of using a handgun to shoot Teeter. On Friday he was originally charged with attempted murder by Mason City police, but now with Teeter’s death that charge has been upgraded to first-degree murder.

Teeter currently is scheduled to be in court for a preliminary hearing on Friday morning.

If convicted of first-degree murder, Whaley would face a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the opportunity for parole.

This comes three weeks after a Lake Mills man is accused of murdering two people in a northeastern Mason City home. 30-year-old Peter Veal is due in court for his arraignment hearing on Tuesday.
