Fort Dodge Police have arrested the man wanted in the 4th of July murder of a Fort Dodge teenager.
Fort Dodge Police say 18-year-old Jamarrion James Davis, also known as J.J., fled as they executed a search warrant at a condo in Fort Dodge on Thursday afternoon and he was arrested after a short foot chase. His arrest comes less than two days following the murder of 15-year-old Jameel C. Redding Pettigrew of Fort Dodge. According to police, Redding-Pettigrew was shot to death Tuesday at around 9:45 p.m. in Fort Dodge.
Davis is charged with first-degree murder.
