Suicide
Davenport police were attempting to locate Micah L. Bates. Officers were watching a house where Bates was reported to be hiding. At approximately 8:38 a.m., surveillance units saw several people leave the home and get into a black GMC Yukon. As the other left down the alley, police stopped, blocking the other. Officers ordered the occupants to get out of the other. Police heard a single gunshot from within the other. Officers found Bates in the Yukon suffering from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
