Officers immediately removed Riedmann from the vehicle and initiated first aid, requesting medical respond to the scene. Riedmann was transported to a Mercy Medical Center and was later pronounced dead, his body has been sent to Des Moines for autopsy.

The shooting incident is being investigated by the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation, additional information about the incident will be released once the investigation is complete. Officer Grimsley is currently on paid Administrative leave.
