警方正在搜寻一名17岁嫌疑人，该男子因与周末爱荷华大学附近的枪击案有关而被指控。此次枪击造成5人受伤，其中部分伤势严重。
据警方消息，来自艾奥瓦州锡达拉皮兹市的达马里安·琼斯面临五项谋杀未遂指控、三项造成严重伤害的故意伤害袭击指控、两项造成人身伤害的故意伤害袭击指控，以及一项持械故意犯罪指控。根据艾奥瓦州法律，最后一项指控针对的是被指“怀着明确意图在无正当理由的情况下使用危险武器针对他人”的行为人。
爱荷华市警方于周三公布了针对琼斯的指控。目前嫌疑人仍在逃，任何掌握其行踪线索的民众都被要求向当局提供线索。警方表示，在继续调查此案的过程中，预计将提起更多指控并实施更多逮捕行动。
琼斯自周日上午起一直在逃，警方称他于当日凌晨1点45分左右在一处拥挤的商场内向他人开枪，造成5人受伤。根据警方逮捕 affidavit（逮捕宣誓书），琼斯在爱荷华大学校园附近的爱荷华市步行街内，与“多名对立人员”发生肢体冲突后，用手枪开了六枪。

宣誓书显示，琼斯与“己方人员”一同参与斗殴，在冲突持续过程中“获取了一把枪支”。在斗殴暂停期间，他离开对立群体，举枪朝对方射击了六枪，子弹击中了当时“处于直接火力范围内”的5名受伤人员。
警方表示，这5名受害者均非此次枪击的目标，“没有证据表明他们与这起事件存在任何其他关联”。
根据警方声明和逮捕宣誓书，警方在审查视频 footage（监控录像）并获取琼斯及其他涉案人员的图像后提起了指控。起诉文件中提到，根据监控录像和犯罪现场证据，“有合理理由相信被告怀着明确意图致人死亡，实施了构成谋杀实质步骤的行为”。
尽管警方认定琼斯射出的子弹造成了5人受伤，但当局表示在调查过程中共缴获了3支枪支、大量配件和多枚弹药。
警方称，在5名中弹受害者中，有两人周三仍在医院接受治疗。其中一人头部受致命重伤，情况危急；另一人手臂和胸部中弹，伤势严重，需要接受手术。第三名受害者腿部中弹，伤势严重，需接受多次手术；第四名受害者腹部侧面中弹；第五名受害者双腿中弹。
“这场毫无意义的暴力行为永远改变了他们的人生，”爱荷华市警察局长达斯汀·利斯顿在一份声明中说道。“我们为他们的全面康复祈祷，并准备好在这段艰难时期尽一切可能支持他们。”
Police seek 17-year-old suspect in connection with mass shooting near University of Iowa

Police are searching for a 17-year-old suspect charged in connection with a shooting near the University of Iowa over the weekend. The shooting left five people wounded, some severely.
Damarian Jones, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, faces five counts of attempted murder, three counts of willful injury assault causing serious injury, two counts of willful injury assault causing bodily injury, and one count of going armed with intent, according to police. The final charge is brought against someone for allegedly carrying a dangerous weapon “with the specific intent to use it without justification against another person,” according to Iowa state law.
Iowa City police announced the charges against Jones on Wednesday. The suspect still had not been located, and anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to submit tips to authorities. Police said they expect to file additional charges, and make additional arrests, as they continue to investigate the case.
Jones has been at large since Sunday morning, when he is accused of shooting five people in the middle of a crowded mall at around 1:45 a.m. Jones fired six rounds from his handgun inside Iowa City’s Pedestrian Mall, near the University of Iowa campus, after engaging in a physical fight “against numerous opposing individuals,” police said in an arrest affidavit.

The suspect fought alongside others “on his side” and eventually “obtained a firearm” as the altercation continued. During a break in fighting, he walked away from the opposing group, raised his gun and proceeded to fire six rounds toward them, according to the affidavit, which struck the five injured people while they were “in the direct line of fire.”
None of the five victims were targets in the shooting, police said, adding, “there is no reason to believe they were otherwise affiliated with this incident.”
Police brought the charges after reviewing video footage, and obtaining images of Jones and other persons of interest, according to their announcement and the affidavit. Based on the footage and crime scene evidence, the charging document said, “There is probable cause to believe the defendant, with the specific intent to cause the death of another, performed an act constituting a substantial step toward the commission of murder.”
Although police believe Jones fired every shot that caused the five injuries, authorities said they recovered three firearms, numerous accessories and multiple rounds of ammunition during their investigation.
Of the five people struck by gunfire, two remained hospitalized on Wednesday, according to police. One person suffered a life-threatening head injury in the shooting and was hospitalized in critical condition, and another suffered serious injuries requiring surgery after being struck in the arm and chest. The third victim suffered serious injuries that required multiple surgeries after being shot in the leg, the fourth was struck in the side of the stomach, and the fifth was struck in both legs, police said.
“Their lives have been forever changed by this senseless act of violence,” Iowa City Police Chief Dustin Liston said in a statement. “We pray for their full recovery and stand ready to support them in any way possible during this difficult time.”
