Zachary Tyler McDivitt, 35, was fatally shot on the night of July 20, 2022, in the 100 block of North Fifth Street in Clinton, Iowa. Police found him wounded on a sidewalk about 10:39 p.m.; he was taken to MercyOne hospital but died shortly afterward. Neighbors reported several shots in rapid succession and a woman screaming for help, and some bullets struck nearby property including a concrete step.

Investigators treated the death as a homicide and worked with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, the county medical examiner and prosecutors while gathering scene evidence and public tips. Authorities described the shooting as targeted and arising from an argument rather than a random attack, and said they did not believe it was connected to a separate recent killing in Clinton.

An arrest was made the next day: Kyler Jay Andresen, 17 at the time, was charged as an adult with first-degree murder. No other gunman or accomplice has been publicly identified; it remains the central question who else may have information about what led to the shooting. Does anyone who knew Zachary or was in that neighborhood that night have details to share?
