(Cedar Rapids, Iowa) [updated 11:15-a.m.] – A call about multiple persons injured at a home in rural Marion, Wednesday afternoon, resulted in the arrest of a man on Attempted Murder and other charges. The Linn County Sheriff’s Office says when emergency personnel arrived at the scene, they found four adult victims with severe injuries. Three of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene. One adult was flown to an area hospital for treatment of what were believed to be life-threatening injuries.

According to the sheriff’s office, the three victims who died have been identified as:

• Romondus Lamar Cooper, 44, of Cedar Rapids
• Keonna Victoria Ryan, 26, of Cedar Rapids
• Amanda Sue Parker, 33, of Vinton

Additionally, Brent Anthony Brown, 34, of Marion, is in critical condition. An investigation indicated the victims sustained blunt force trauma injuries to the head, delivered by a metal pipe. Officials say a possible motive was the possibility of the crime being made into a movie. 34-year-old Luke Truesdell, of Marion, was arrested and charged with one-count of Attempted Murder, with additional charges pending.

No additional arrests are expected.
