(Radio Iowa) – Des Moines police say a brother and sister are now jailed in a fatal shooting from last summer. Twenty-year-old Jasmin Bautista and her 18-year-old brother, Jonathan, are charged in the murder of 43-year-old Javier Wilson-Moncada. His body was found along the banks of the Des Moines River back in August. Police are still seeking a third unidentified suspect. The siblings were identified as persons of interest in the case in September, but were picked up by West Des Moines police over the weekend during a traffic stop.
