Shockingly, the media fails to identify the race of the suspects and victim.

Via Des Moines Register:

Des Moines police are still looking for one of three 18-year-olds accused of beating a 40-year-old Des Moines man to death Sunday.

Yarvon Nathaniel Russell, James Alon Shorter and Kent Anthony Tyler III, all of Des Moines, were charged Friday with first-degree murder. The teenagers are accused of killing Richard Daughenbaugh, who was found severely beaten in a parking lot near the Center Street bridge around 1 a.m. Sunday morning. He later died at Iowa Methodist Medical Center.

Russell and Shorter were arrested and are being held at the Polk County Jail. A warrant has been issued for Tyler’s arrest. Police were still looking for Tyler as of 6 p.m. Saturday, said Des Moines Police Sgt. Jason Halifax.

Several dozen people were in the parking lot when Daughenbaugh was beaten and watched the attack, police believe. Police suspect three or four others participated in the attack.

“The phrase ‘mob mentality’ is probably accurate here,” Halifax told the Register on Friday. “Once the assault began, acquaintances of the suspect jumped in.”
