NEVADA, Iowa (AP) - A jury has found a Fort Dodge man guilty of murder in the 2018 shooting deaths of two Fort Dodge brothers.
Tanner King, 28, was found guilty Wednesday of two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of 34-year-old El Dominic and 37-year-old Marion Rhodes on Oct. 22, 2018, the Messenger reported. The verdicts came after a three-week trial.
King’s trial was moved from Webster County to Story County in an effort to ensure him a fair trial.
Dominic’s body was found in an alley and his older brother’s body was found in a nearby apartment parking lot, police have said.
Police said King also fired a shot at another man but missed.
A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled. King faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. He may also face additional penalties for multiple violations of his parole on a previous conviction on burglary, arson and theft counts.
