 The person who was shot and killed earlier this month by a Des Moines County sheriff's deputy has been identified by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

The deputies were called to a domestic disturbance at a residence northwest of Burlington along Iowa City Road at around 9 p.m. on August 5. Authorities stated that they had information that a man, now known as David Maupin, age 46, was carrying a handgun.

During a verbal altercation with the deputy, Maupin reportedly got recalcitrant and pulled out a gun, according to the Iowa DCI. According to the DCI, the deputy then shot Maupin, who was subsequently given medical attention for his wounds. Later, he passed away at the site from his wounds. There were no injuries to the involved deputy.

According to the sheriff's office rules, the involved deputy is presently on paid critical incident leave; his identity has not been made public. When the Iowa DCI's investigation is finished, the findings will be sent to the Iowa Attorney General's Office for consideration.
