Demarcus Alex Anderson was 28 when he was found dead on February 25, 2020, near 9th and Memorial in Racine, Wisconsin. Born October 25, 1991, in Chicago, he was the youngest of twelve siblings and was known by nicknames Debo and Lotti. Family remembered him for a love of fashion, music and basketball and for his playful, outspoken personality.

Authorities reported Anderson had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. His body was discovered wrapped in garbage bags; shell casings from a .40-caliber handgun were found nearby. A witness said an altercation followed an after-bar party, during which Anderson accused Donley Carey of being a police informant and that Carey allegedly shot him. Carey, 34, was arrested March 4, 2020, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and charged with first-degree intentional homicide; he had prior convictions noted from 2003 and 2019.

At trial, jurors returned a not-guilty verdict for Carey on June 28, 2022. The shooting was said to have occurred at the Sin City Biker Club. Anderson’s family continues to mourn; anyone with information about the case or who knew Demarcus is asked to come forward.
