The Ottawa Times reports that Shannon and a co-defendant, 21-year-old Joseph J. Brewer of rural Ottawa, caused the death of 32-year-old Michael C. Castello on July 20, 2017 “by putting him in a chokehold during a fight on the grounds of Bonnie Plants, a commercial plant grower just northeast of Ottawa.”

WSPY Radio reported that “LaSallle County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the scene at 11:53 PM that day, requesting emergency personnel in response to the physical altercation that occurred. Deputies and an ambulance were sent to the scene where Castelli was found unresponsive. Castelli was transported to OSF St. Elizabeth’s in Ottawa where he was later pronounced dead.”

The Times reports that if Shannon posts bond, he’ll be able to return to Iowa as court proceedings continue.
