A 34-year-old Atlanta man convicted in the slaying of a 20-year-old woman has filed an appeal with the Iowa Supreme Court, court records say.

Justin Wright was found guilty of first-degree murder in Scott County Court for the death of 20-year-old Wilanna Bibbs. He was sentenced to life without parole in Scott County Court after he was arrested and held in Scott County Jail, court documents show.

Wright entered his appeal on Wednesday.

The incident

On May 9, 2021, police investigated a homicide on the 1500 block of Calvin Street, Davenport.

Shortly before 1:30 p.m. Sunday, police responded to the area for a disturbance and found a gunshot victim, Wilanna S. Bibbs, 20, of Durham, N.C.

Davenport Fire and Medic responded and pronounced her deceased.

Our Local 4 News crew saw the house surrounded by crime-scene tape. Officers, including a crime-scene technician, searched vehicles in a driveway and an attached garage while others took photos inside the house, where the investigation had been ongoing for several hours.

According to Hiphopdx, Bibbs was Wright’s girlfriend. Wright, who also was known as J Wright, founded Camp Entertainment Worldwide, which worked with musicians such as Bow Wow, Timbaland and Kash Doll.
