On the evening of February 1, 2017, a 9-1-1 call reported a shooting at a residence on Seven Hills Road in rural Coggon, Iowa. Deputies and emergency responders found 20-year-old Dylan Michael Plotz of Cedar Rapids lying in the yard; he was a White male and had been fatally shot. An autopsy was scheduled with the State Medical Examiner’s Office.

Linn County investigators executed search warrants at the property, collected evidence, and questioned multiple people described as witnesses and possible suspects. Authorities said they did not believe any suspects remained at large but did not release details. No arrests were publicly announced and the investigation later grew cold.

If anyone knew Dylan or has information about the events on Seven Hills Road that night, please come forward.
