IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) When cops pulled over Marquis Jones for loud music one sunny afternoon in October 2017, the 27-year-old Black man got out of his car and ran.
Jones escaped one officer’s tackle and carried a handgun as he fled through a neighborhood in Burlington, Iowa. Police yelled for him to drop his weapon before Officer Chris Chiprez fired seven times, missing Jones. Jones ditched the gun, ran down an alley and into a backyard, and laid on the ground as Chiprez pursued.
Chiprez said he shot and killed Jones after he started to rise and made a hand movement. Relatives say Jones, a father of five, was trying to surrender.

It is still too early to stop wearing masks and practicing social distancing, he said afterward.
Nadkarni said after the injection it was just like getting a flu shot. While getting injections is a scary thing for many people, Nadkarni said it was an exciting thing, marking the beginning of the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nadkarni will need the second injection after about 28 days. He said the priming injection is about 50% effective in preventing both the spread and symptomatic COVID-19 and the prevention rate goes up to 95% after the booster injection.

To determine whether Burlington officer Chris Chiprez should face charges in the Oct. 1, 2017, fatal shooting of 27-year-old Marquis Jones, authorities turned to the office of Attorney General Miller, a Democrat and the longest-serving attorney general in U.S. history with four decades in power. Like 30 other cases involving force used by police in the decade before and years since, the attorney general s office cleared Chiprez of criminal wrongdoing, documents obtained under the open records law show.
