One dead after shooting on Des Moines' east side
A man was shot and killed on the east side of Des Moines in the early morning of July 2. Just after 12:15 a.m., the Des Moines Police Department responded to a report of a shooting at 3600 Kennedy Drive. The caller heard multiple gunshots and saw a person on the ground outside of an apartment building, according to a news release from Sgt. Paul Parizek. Officers found an adult male who had been shot and provided first aid at the scene. He was taken to UnityPoint Methodist Medical Center where he died just after 4 a.m. The shooting is Des Moines' second criminal homicide of 2025, according to the news release. Another shooting in February ended in the death of 25-year-old Armando Cruz Lorenzo. Police believe this to be a directed incident with no ongoing danger to the neighborhood.

Iowa rallies will push back on Trump's parade
Protesters will demonstrate in parks and squares nationwide on Saturday in what organizers expect will be the largest single-day anti-President Trump rally since the start of his second administration. Why it matters: The widespread movement will run counter to Trump's multimillion-dollar military parade in Washington, D.C. "No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance," organizers wrote. "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism." By the numbers: More than 100 pro-democracy advocacy groups are partnering to organize the No Kings events. Millions of people are expected to protest in more than 1,500 cities across all 50 states and commonwealths, organizers said. Zoom in: The DSM protest is scheduled from noon-2pm at the Capitol, according to a social media post by Polk County Democrats. More than two dozen others are planned across the state. State of play: Trump on Tuesday vowed that protests to the parade in D.C. will be met with "very big force." "I haven't even heard about a protest," he said during an Oval Office press conference, "but ... this is people that hate our country." What they're saying: Des Moines police have a team in place to respond Saturday if needed, Sgt. Paul Parizek tells Axios.
