Police in southeast Iowa have arrested a Keokuk man in connection with a deadly shooting that took place last summer, though he is not facing murder charges.
This week, the Keokuk Police Department arrested Matthew Thomas Miller, 27, following an investigation into the July 28, 2024, shooting death of Colby Deck, 27, of Keokuk.
Deck died at the scene outside a home at 510 Morgan Street after suffering a single gunshot wound to the chest. First responders performed CPR for about 30 minutes but were unable to revive him.
At the time of the shooting, police said they had identified the individual who fired the fatal shot, but that person’s name has not been released due to the ongoing investigation.
Following a recent search of Miller’s residence, authorities charged him with possession of a short-barreled shotgun and two counts of possession of a firearm suppressor.
The investigation into Deck’s death remains active, according to police.
