On Monday, the city said on Facebook that there were"unaccounted individuals that were residents of the property." Members of Davenport Public Works also immediately arrived at the scene to secure the area and disconnect utilities. A victim was located and extricated and – due to the nature of her injuries and entrapment – that process took an extended period of time.
Protesters near the building had signs that urged the city to"find them first" and authorities said the building had 53 tenants.
