Aaron McAtee Death: Monticello Iowa Man, Aaron McAtee Died in Shooting at Fareway Grocery, Suspect Arrested

Aaron McAtee Death News; On Tuesday, November 7, 2023, Aaron McAtee, a worker at Fareway Meat and Grocery and a citizen of Monticello, Iowa, unfortunately went suddenly.

“Please do an extra act of kindness today and every day. Do this in honor of Aaron McAtee. Let’s make Monticello an example of how the world should be. Kindness is the key.”

What was Aaron McAtee’s cause of death?

Chief of Monticello Police Britt D. Smith said in a press statement that when officers arrived at Fareway Meat and Grocery on Tuesday, shortly before 7:30 a.m., they found 48-year-old Aaron McAtee shot close to a loading dock outside the business.

He died on the route to the hospital after being taken there. The search was initiated by the detectives once they had established that Nathan Russell, 38, of East Dubuque, Illinois, was the suspect.

A Delaware County deputy spotted Russell in the town of Hopkinton, about ten miles (16 kilometers) from Monticello. Smith claims that after Russell refused to comply, the deputy shot him “in the attempt to detain Russell.”

Russell remained in the hospital on Wednesday, but there was no immediate word on his condition. The deputy who shot him is put on administrative leave while the shooting is still being investigated. Prosecutors were reviewing the case.
