Andrea Rochelle Anderson, 41, was fatally shot on the night of February 11, 2020, in Waterloo, Iowa. She had been visiting a friend, 42-year-old Tamica Takeisha Allison, at Allison’s home when both women were found dead from gunshot wounds at about 11:20 p.m. Andrea’s death was ruled a gunshot wound to the temple by the state medical examiner.

Police identified Allison’s boyfriend, 36-year-old Mathew Dee Buford III, who lived in the home, as the suspect and issued arrest warrants charging him with two counts of first-degree murder. Allison’s teenage daughter told investigators she had been upstairs when she heard two gunshots, then found her mother and Anderson on the floor and saw Buford holding a gun. Buford reportedly drove Allison’s children to separate locations before fleeing the state; he later surrendered in Peoria, Illinois.

Buford was convicted at trial of two counts of first-degree murder and flight to avoid prosecution and received two consecutive life sentences with no possibility of parole. Did anyone who knew Andrea or Tamica notice warning signs in the months before February 2020?
