Des Moines police are actively searching for Tyrice Bassette, identified as the fifth suspect in the murder of Dmitri Craig-Lee English. The victim was attacked on Court Avenue in July and subsequently died at his home in Minnesota weeks later. While four individuals have already been arrested in connection with the case, Bassette remains at large. Authorities believe he may still be in the Des Moines area, though they acknowledge the possibility that he has left town. Sgt. Paul Parizek of the Des Moines Police Department emphasized that the violence is not inherent to the entertainment district but rather stems from individuals seeking trouble. Police have increased their presence in the Court Avenue area to enhance public safety, a measure that recently assisted in responding to a separate shooting incident where a victim sustained three gunshot wounds. Investigators are urging the public to assist in locating Bassette. Sgt. Parizek stated that if anyone has information regarding the suspect's whereabouts or recent activities, they should contact law enforcement immediately. The department continues to investigate a pattern of violence on Court Avenue, including fights and shootings, since the July incident. Police are encouraging community members to exercise caution and prioritize safety when visiting the area. Tips regarding the murder investigation can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers or by visiting the Des Moines police website. Authorities stress that safety is a shared responsibility and that most visitors enjoy the district without incident. The investigation remains ongoing as police work to bring all suspects to justice.
