Joseph Dominique Anderson was 27 when he was found dead on April 15, 2016, in Lexington, North Carolina. Anderson, born August 2, 1988, in Rowan County, was the son of William Anderson Jr. and Adrienne Bailey Anderson, had worked as an assembler, attended Rowan County schools, and was a member of Word of Life Family Worship Center. He is survived by his wife, Gemisha Nicole Anderson, and daughter, Jayla Kyael Anderson.

On the morning of April 15 deputies responded to a report of a vehicle that had struck a storage shed. Inside a black 2007 Ford Crown Victoria officers found Anderson and 27-year-old Kevin Michael Caldwell, both deceased from gunshot wounds. Investigators determined the men had been shot before the vehicle left the road; the crash did not cause their deaths. Bodies were taken to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Raleigh and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office treated the deaths as homicides.

The investigation remains open and no arrests, suspects, or motives have been released. If anyone knew Joseph, Kevin, their movements that morning, or saw the Crown Victoria, please come forward with information.
