Storm Lake Man Found Guilty In Shooting Of Des Moines Child

June 14, 2021

(Des Moines)  —  Investigators say 20-year-old Reath Yak of Storm Lake was one of the men who fired more than 20 shots at a Des Moines home last March. 

One of those bullets hit two-year-old Malcolm Mai in the head. 

Yak was found guilty of two counts of attempted murder, willful injury, and intimidation with a dangerous weapon. 

Four more men held in connection with the shooting are seeking separate trials. 

No sentencing date for Yak has been set. 

The wounded child spent almost a month in the hospital and is currently undergoing rehabilitation.
