IOWA CITY – The Iowa City Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred early Sunday, April 19, 2026, and are seeking clues in nabbing suspects.

Initially, multiple victims were taken to area hospitals to be treated for wounds suffered in the shooting. No arrests were made. Videos circulated online, showing hoodied goons beating each other with feminine punches, some with their pants sagging to the beaten brick walkway. The gleaming and alluring neon bar signs glistened in the pale moonlight as the stink of booze and Swisher Sweet cigar smoke wafted in the breeze.

As part of the ongoing investigation, investigators are seeking to identify persons of interest associated with this shooting.
