Authorities say two people were shot to death in separate incidents in Iowa’s capitol city over the weekend.

Des Moines police say the body of 41-year-old Michael Thurman of Keokuk was found Saturday night along a roadside in an industrial area near the Titan Tire factory.

A suspect in that case, 27-year-old Andrew Hall of Des Moines, is charged with robbery and murder.

In the second shooting early Sunday, police were called to a Des Moines bar called Karma to help break up a crowd of 500 people.

Two women were shot and wounded and 29-year-old Sir William Beckish of Des Moines was shot and killed.

The Polk County Sheriff says 35-year-old Gordon Johnson of Des Moines is charged with reckless use of a firearm though it’s still unclear if he shot any of the victims.
