Feglys Antonio Campos Arriba Obituary, Death – Authorities in Iowa have confirmed that a man was shot and killed by a Denison police officer following a confrontation late last week. The individual has been identified as 36-year-old Feglys Antonio Campos Arriba.

The incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. when Denison police officers were dispatched to Washington Park after receiving a call for service. According to a statement released by the department, an officer arrived at the scene and made contact with Campos. What began as an interaction quickly escalated when Campos reportedly became uncooperative.

Police said the situation developed into a physical altercation between Campos and the officer. During the confrontation, the officer sustained serious injuries. At some point in the struggle, the officer discharged his firearm, striking Campos. Officials confirmed that Campos died at the scene before emergency responders could render aid.

The officer involved was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries sustained during the altercation. After receiving care, the officer was later released. No further details were provided about the extent of the officer’s injuries.

Denison police emphasized that the matter is under active review. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) has taken over the case to ensure an independent examination of the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Once their investigation is complete, findings will be forwarded to both the Crawford County Attorney and the Iowa Attorney General’s Office for further review and a final determination regarding the use of force.

As is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings, the officer has not been publicly identified. The Denison Police Department confirmed that he has been placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation is ongoing. This measure is intended to allow for a thorough inquiry while also ensuring that the officer is not actively on duty during the review process.

The shooting has raised questions within the community as residents await further clarity about how the confrontation escalated so rapidly and resulted in deadly force. Officials have not disclosed what initially led to the service call or what specific behavior by Campos prompted the escalation. Details regarding whether additional officers were present at the time have also not been released.

Community leaders and residents are closely following the investigation, with many expressing concern about both the loss of life and the safety of law enforcement officers responding to potentially volatile situations. The DCI has reassured the public that all evidence, including witness statements and forensic analysis, will be carefully reviewed before any conclusions are drawn.

As the process unfolds, Campos is remembered as the individual whose life was cut short in the confrontation, while the officer continues to recover from injuries sustained in the line of duty. The findings of the investigation will ultimately determine whether the shooting was justified under Iowa law and what further actions, if any, may be taken.
