This morning a Des Moines man was arrested in connection to the West State Street shooting earlier this month.

Chance Wins Buffalo, 31, was apprehended by Des Moines Police Department officers as the sole suspect of the Jan. 11 shooting.

Marshalltown Police Department (MPD) officers responded to the shooting, surrounded the area and canvassed neighborhoods. Canine and drone units were utilized to help locate Wins Buffalo who escaped on foot. The victim, a 28-year-old man, was taken to UnityPoint Hospital and transported to a hospital in Des Moines where he is being treated for his injuries.

MPD officials, who do not believe there is a threat to the public, said the shooting was a targeted act of violence and they are processing evidence to identify the surrounding circumstances and people involved. The MPD has received information everyone involved may have associated with one another.

Wins Buffalo is being held in Polk County Jail without bond. He is charged with:

• Attempted murder, a class B felony which carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison;

• Possession of a firearm as a felon, a class D felony which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $10,245 fine;
