On a Sunday morning in Council Bluffs, Iowa, the body of 25-year-old Michael Olandian Anderson Jr. was found near the entrance of the Western Trails Historic Center on South 24th Street. The discovery on April 28, 2024 followed the fatal shooting earlier that day of 36-year-old Deonte Ivory, who was found on the roadway in the 2100 block of South 29th Street. Both men were from Omaha, Nebraska.

The Council Bluffs Police Department tied the two killings to 30-year-old Dequanta R. Zachary of Council Bluffs. Investigators used cell phone records, social media activity, surveillance footage, witness statements and a suspect vehicle located in Mills County to piece together events. Zachary was arrested in Blair, Nebraska on April 29, 2024 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon; prosecutors say DNA from one victim’s blood was found on his clothing.

Does anyone have information about Anderson Jr., his movements in Council Bluffs on April 28, or anything that could help with the investigation?
