State investigators now involved in police shooting in Cedar Rapids

investigateCEDAR RAPIDS – Agents with the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), in cooperation with the Cedar Rapids Police Department, continue to investigate the Officer Involved Shooting incident which occurred on March 29, 2015 in the alleyway in the 800 block between Center Point Road and Daniels Street N.E.

That evening, police observed a 2015 BMW M4 traveling the wrong way on a one-way street before crashing into a telephone pole. The driver, identified as Kyle Russell Orth, age 28, then drove in a “reckless manner” toward officers, who fired at him, and delivered non-life-threatening injuries. A female passenger suffered minor injuries due to the crash. Orth was treated at a local hospital and released.

The two officers involved in the shooting are: Officer Jeremy Depies and Officer Brandon Tinta.

Both officers have been employed with the Cedar Rapids Police Department for three and half years. At this point, the aforementioned officers have not been interviewed. The DCI anticipates the officers will be interviewed later in the week.

A DCI report will be compiled once all interviews are completed, physical evidence analyzed and audio and video tapes reviewed. No criminal charges will be filed in this case until all case facts are submitted to and reviewed by the Linn County Attorney’s office.
