Original Story:
The cooperation of multiple agencies, including the U.S. Marshalls Office of the Southern District of Iowa, led to the arrest of 41-year old Elijah Daniel Davis, who allegedly committed a Homicide by Vehicle and Child Endangerment. Members of the U.S. Marshals Service Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force located Davis in Fort Myers, Florida, on June 10. As a result, Davis was extradited to Iowa.
The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened at around 5:06 p.m., on May 8, on Highway 25, just west of Orient, when an eastbound 2000 Ford Astro van driven by Davis crossed the centerline for unknown reasons and struck a westbound 1946 Ford F-100 pickup driven by 39-year old Jeremy Trichel, of Menlo. Trichel was ejected from his vehicle and died from his injuries. Davis was also injured in the crash.
