From December 2008: New trial ordered in death that set off gang shootings | The Asheville Citizen-Times | citizen-times.com: "The move means Jarmaine Levar Allen, 31, could have to be tried a fourth time for the shooting of Crips kingpin Jody Stokes, whose 1995 death outside a now-defunct Des Moines bar triggered months of retaliatory shootings between rival Crips and Bloods

. It also means Allen could be available to testify on behalf of another Des Moines man, David Flores, who claims he was wrongly convicted in a random shooting tied to Stokes' killing, attorneys say."
