Man Wanted For Iowa Murder Captured In Mishawaka

Polk County Iowa Jail

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Another man has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a teenager in northeast Des Moines.

Marcus Brown was captured in Mishawaka, Indiana, and has been returned to Des Moines. He is being held on a $1-million cash bond. He is being held on a preliminary count of first degree murder charge in addition to a first degree robbery charge. 

Brown, Makaveli Russell and Javell Williams have been charged with murder and robbery in the April 14 shooting of 17-year-old Donzell Martin.

Williams has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to go on trial July 29. Court records say Russell also has pleaded not guilty, but prosecutors said in a filing Monday that they'd don't intend to pursue the case against him.
