MASON CITY – The victim of a recent stabbing incident in Mason city has passed away, leading to the chance for a stiffer charge against the man suspected of the crime.

The Mason City Police Department said today that 23-year-old Wraymond Leon Todd of Mason City died yesterday afternoon while still in the hospital recovering from a stabbing assault assault. On Tuesday, May 30 at 3:34 PM, officers and medics were dispatched to the 300 block of West State Street on a report of a stabbing. Todd had been stabbed in the chest with a knife and was seriously injured. Todd was transported by medics to Mercy Hospital and emergency surgery was performed; he has since passed away. Another man, Cody Michael Bublitz, age 28 of Mason City, was also cut during the assault. He was attended to by medics and declined immediate medical attention.

Braedon Steven Bowers, age 20, was arrested on May 31 in connection with the assault and was charged with Attempted Murder. Bowers is still an inmate at the Cerro Gordo County Jail, held on $50,000 bond. Police say he will likely be charged with first-degree murder this afternoon.

Let all without sin, the self righteous, holier than thou NIT bloggers give me an Amen………. then cast the first stone.

idgaf about anything else you all are going on about.. but to the person that made the third comment. I’ll pray for you. to judge people by FACEBOOK. you need serious help. I shouldn’t have to explain anything, but seeings how I’m one of the people involved in this tragic incident. you could surely look me up, think I’m some horrible 23 year old mom, living off the state to support my two kids, doing/selling drugs. can’t forget the tattoo statement. that’s probably how you’d lable me because of my social media page. but yes I’ve got multiple tattoos, I work my damn ass off EVERYDAY for my children, pay for my own car, house and EVERYTHING and anything my children need.
let’s also make a few things Clear, the man that died. my BESTFRIEND might “look” like some thug you were ranting about but he isnt.. and didn’t try to be. he was an amazing man, that helped anybody and everybody. which is why we were at this residence that day. there was no fight,or arguments between the two men previous to the stabbing. I’ll also add that the victim has NEVER touched or done dope in his life and he DID have a job. a good one at that.
it’s very sad that you judge by how people look. why because they dress, talk, walk and act different then you. just from your comment I can already tell that every victim that was involved in this, you know the people your degrading and belittling are already better individuals then YOU! you must be a sad sad, lonely person. from how your talking, I’m going to guess your significantly older then me and I’m so glad I wasn’t raised with your generation. to judge and talk on people you don’t know like that, especially after the death of young man like this. pathetic, and sickens me.

kids to day have lost something, its called “respect” they don’t have any for anything or anyone. parents need to teach it

All this self righteous talk gets me so excited and girly giggly. I just love the blisters from your hell fire and brimstone. Chase that Satan away!

The problem is this town is full of twenty something punks who have nothing to do all day and refuse to work. They have local skanks for girlfriends, knock them up and live off the state. Look up some of these losers on Facebook who are involved in this incident. They are all want to be thugs and gangsters. Skinny little punks who don’t work yet somehow have money for dope and tattoos. Drive by where this happened and you’ll see them all sitting on the porch wasting good air. Contribute to society and if you decide not to, then don’t expect society to contribute to you.

Kids are being raised worthless punks these days. When I was a kid, and we a had a problem with a peer, we just beat each other up, and then moved on from that problem. If parents were still willing to discipline their children and teach them the Good Book, they would grow up with more respect for human life and other people. A true, sad shame.

What a sad waste of two lives. I certainly don’t know any details but it seems to me that our youth have grown up with the “everybody gets a trophy” attitude and when confronted with real life conflicts, there aren’t any coping skills. My thoughts are with both families. They both lose.

In the second paragraph, you may want to remove the sentence about Todd still being hospitalized…..

Have fun in the pokey!!
