Four suspects have been charged in connection with an Iowa City assault and rioting case.
Iowa City Police say the victim was attacked in the alley off the 10 block of South Dubuque Street just after 1:30 on the morning of March 23rd. 22-year-old Dayvon Long of the Quarters apartments on Highway 6 East allegedly pushed a female victim after a verbal altercation. He then reportedly ordered three women to attack the woman. Those three women are identified as 29-year-old Kali Young and 28-year-old Emily Young…who live together in the Holiday Lodge manufactured housing community in North Liberty…as well as 26-year-old Miranda Anderson of 13th Avenue SW in Cedar Rapids. The three are accused of pulling the woman to the ground and punching her multiple times. Police say the woman tried to escape, but was pulled back down as the assault continued.
All four suspects are charged with Participating in a Riot, with the three women facing additional charges of Assault Causing Injury. Long faces a maximum of five years in prison, if convicted, while the three women each face up to six years behind bars.
Long was given a suspended sentence earlier this year after he shot at his pregnant girlfriend at her Wayne Avenue apartment with three children present.
