DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Police have released the names of a man who was killed and one who was wounded in a Des Moines shooting.

Officers sent to investigate a possible homicide around 6:40 p.m. Tuesday found a man’s body on a sidewalk. They soon learned that a man wounded in the same shooting had driven himself to a hospital. He’s been released.

Police identified the dead man Wednesday as 20-year-old Augustin Nouh and the wounded man as 18-year-old Nelson Atary.



Sgt. Paul Parizek (puh-REE’-zihk) says investigators don’t think the shooting occurred where Nouh’s body was found.

No arrests have been reported.
