Denelius House Nesby, 55, was shot and killed in the early morning of January 22, 2017, in Waterloo, Iowa. Police found him at about 5:05 a.m. lying in a parking lot beside the Greer Funeral Home in the 700 block of Logan Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to UnityPoint Health-Allen Hospital and later pronounced dead. The Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators looked into robbery as a possible motive after information that Nesby had been gambling nearby and may have been targeted after winning. Police examined a parked vehicle near where he was found and collected other evidence from the scene. That same afternoon officers were called to Nesby’s home on St. Albans Street for vandalism; a surveillance camera had been ripped from the house and family members later repaired it.

Surveillance images were released and a reward offered in March 2017, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests were reported. Does anyone have information about activity around Logan Avenue that morning or the nearby gambling establishment?
