In the early morning hours of Saturday, November 22, 2014, the life of 28-year-old Daniel Mathew Labarre, a male resident of Bettendorf, Iowa, was cut short. Police responded to reports of shots fired at a home in the 1200 block of Bridge Avenue in Davenport. Upon arrival, they discovered Labarre with life-threatening injuries. He was rushed to a local hospital but ultimately succumbed to his wounds.
An autopsy was scheduled to determine the precise cause of his death.
The investigation into Labarre's death quickly led Davenport police to seek a person of interest. Authorities announced they were searching for 26-year-old Xavier Buckner, believing he had information pertinent to the case. A description of Buckner was released to the public, asking for assistance in locating him. At the time, it was not specified whether Buckner was considered a suspect in the shooting.
Despite the initial investigation and the public call for information regarding Xavier Buckner, details about any subsequent arrests or the resolution of the case remain publicly unavailable. News reports following the initial announcements did not clarify whether Buckner was ever located or if he provided any information to the police. Furthermore, there is conflicting information from some online sources regarding the nature of Labarre's death, with some suggesting a lack of foul play despite the initial reports of a shooting. This has left the circumstances surrounding Daniel Mathew Labarre's death and the outcome of the investigation unclear.
