ANKENY, Iowa (AP) - An 18-year-old man was arrested Friday for the shooting death of a pregnant teenager earlier this month at an Ankeny hotel, police there said.
Donault Logan, of Des Moines, turned himself in shortly before noon Friday to Ankeny police outside of the Polk County Jail, police said in a news release. Logan faces charges of involuntary manslaughter, the killing of a fetus under Iowa law and several other counts in the Aug. 3 death of 17-year-old Mia Holmes, of Ankeny, police said.
Logan was Holmes’ boyfriend and has said the shooting was an accident that happened when he was removing the gun from a bag and it fired, hitting Holmes.
