    The defendant also relies on a prior opinion from this court to buttress his argument that evidence of the gun shots was inadmissible. In State v. Cross, No. 12–0138, 2013 WL 530774, at *4 (Iowa Ct.App. Feb. 13, 2013), a panel of this court found repeated references to hearsay statements about a shot fired prior to that defendant fleeing in a vehicle "likely influenced the jury to base its decision on an improper factor, that is, the implicit assertion that [defendant] had been involved in another crime or bad act, the shooting incident at the fairgrounds." However, the Cross case is distinguishable.
