THERE’S A NEW TWIST IN THE INVESTIGATION OF A SHOOTING IN DOWNTOWN SIOUX CITY LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
SIOUX CITY POLICE DETECTIVES HAVE ASKED THE WOODBURY COUNTY ATTORNEY TO DROP CHARGES INCLUDING ATTEMPTED MURDER AGAINST ERIC-JAHIM WORD IN CONNECTION TO THE SHOOTING IN THE 200 BLOCK OF NEBRASKA STREET THAT LEFT ONE MAN HOSPITALIZED.
INVESTIGATORS DETERMINED THAT A WITNESS INTENTIONALLY MISIDENTIFIED WORD AS THE PERSON WHO FIRED THE SHOTS.
