Preston Walls, 18, of West Des Moines, has been charged with the crimes.

A known member of a criminal street gang, Walls entered the common area of Starts Right Here on Monday. Founder Will Keeps tried to escort him out, but Walls resisted and displayed a handgun.

According to police, Walls had removed his ankle monitor 16 minutes before the incident, while he was on supervised pretrial release for public intoxication and interfering with official acts while carrying a gun.

A court record states that Walls pursued one of the victims and repeatedly shot him. According to police, he was caught on security footage of the shooting. The shooting is still being investigated, according to police.

Authorities claim the deaths were motivated by an existing gang-related disagreement between Gionni Dameron and Rashad Carr, who were both members of an opposing criminal street gang.
