The teenager accused of shooting five people on the Iowa City Ped Mall last month has waived extradition and will be returned to Iowa within 30 days.

Meanwhile, investigators are still actively following leads and have not ruled out the possibility of additional charges or arrests.

Police Chief Dustin Liston says capturing 17-year-old Damarian Jones was an important step in the department’s investigation of the incident.

Iowa City Police will be increasing their presence in the downtown area throughout the summer and into the football season.
