Fort Dodge Homicide Retaliation: Arrest Made in Fourth of July Shooting

TL;DR Summary
The family of a 15-year-old boy who was shot and killed on the Fourth of July in Fort Dodge, Iowa, is upset that the memorial they created for him at the site of his death has been removed each day. The city claims it was a matter of safety due to the location of the memorial near a busy intersection. The family believes the removal is unjust and may be related to the connection between the victim's older brother and the alleged shooter. The case remains under investigation.
