In the early hours of April 28, 2024, Council Bluffs officers found 36-year-old Deonte Ivory of Omaha deceased on the roadway in the 2100 block of S. 29th Street. Later that morning, about 7:02 a.m., a dog walker located another body less than a mile away near the entrance to the Western Trails Historic Center in the 3200 block of S. 24th Street; that victim was identified as 25-year-old Michael Anderson of Omaha. Autopsies determined both men died from gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified a suspect vehicle that was later located abandoned and shot up in rural Mills County; a partially burned shirt was hanging out of the car’s gas tank. Authorities said the two victims and the suspect were known associates. Using cell phone records, surveillance footage, witness statements and social media analysis, detectives identified 30-year-old Dequanta R. Zachary of Council Bluffs as the primary suspect and located him in Blair on April 29, where he was taken into custody on an outstanding theft warrant.

Does anyone have information about Ivory’s movements the night of April 27–28 or about the suspect vehicle seen in Mills County?
