How they died

Suicide

Tony Hayes reportedly shot and killed Lacrissa Davis, 27, at Casey's General Store in Ames. Officer Kailen Fitzgerald saw Hayes riding a bicycle toward Nevada. A gun battle allegedly ensued and Hayes climbed in the passenger side of Fitzgerald's police car and drove off, leading officers from multiple agencies on a high-speed chase. Hayes crashed into a ditch after running over stop sticks east of State Center. Police reportedly discovered Hayes had shot himself. According to police, dashcam video didn't show officers finding Hayes dead because the officer recording had to go tell onlookers to get back in their vehicles.
