Court proceedings are moving back to juvenile court for a Dubuque teen after he pleaded guilty to charges related to a shooting and a stabbing. 16 year old Jaquez Pease has pleaded guilty in Iowa District Court for Dubuque County to charges of reckless use of a firearm and assault while displaying or using a dangerous weapon in the two unrelated incidents. The former charge relates to the fatal shooting of 18 year old Robert Powell-Moore on July 17th. The latter charge stems from the stabbing of Dion Smith, of Dubuque, at his residence on June 20th. The plea agreement stipulated that jurisdiction in both cases would be transferred back to juvenile court, which Iowa District Court Judge Michael Shubatt approved in an order.
