(Council Bluffs) Three people have been arrested in connection with the shooting death of 19-year-old Tucker Dobberstine. Four other suspects have outstanding felony warrants.
The Council Bluffs Police Department says on January 8th at 5:15 p.m., officers were called to 209 South 4th Street in Council Bluffs to investigate a call of shots fired. Officers arrived and after a short time they found the victim, Tucker Dobberstine of Fremont, Nebraska, who had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest laying on the floor of Apartment #6. Initial witness information said that after the shots, several people ran from the building wearing rubber gloves and masks. At this time the Criminal Investigations Division and Forensic Team were called to the scene.
After an exhaustive investigation, detectives found that all of the listed suspects worked together to plan and commit a robbery of the victim as he was delivering drugs to them. Four of the suspects met the victim in the apartment and during the armed robbery shots were fired causing the death of the victim. These suspects then left the apartment and jumped into an awaiting vehicle that was occupied by two other suspects. The apartment tenant was not present during the incident, but it is alleged that she had prior knowledge of the planned robbery. Detectives applied for and conducted several search warrants of the apartment, phones, social media and other electronic devices to gather information on this incident. With the information gathered it was determined that all seven suspects would be charged with Murder in the 1st Degree and Robbery in the 1st Degree for their involvement in this incident.
Iowa Criminal Code 707.2 states that a person commits Murder in the 1st Degree when the person kills another while participating in a forcible felony.
Three of the seven suspects are in custody including 20-year-old Keshawn Houtz-Mayfield, 20-year-old Traavon Thomas, and 20-year-old Treianna Hudson, all of Council Bluffs.
The remaining four individuals are wanted: 19-year-old Trebor Carman, 20-year-old Dontre Hudson, 20-year-old Angelina Michaelson, and 30-year-old Devin Adkins, all of Council Bluffs.
If you have any information regarding the location of these individuals, please contact your local law enforcement agency.
