A Council Bluffs man is facing a first degree murder charge for the death of a 34-year-old homeless man earlier this week.
A warrant has been issued for 43 year old Michael John Thacker. Council Bluffs Police believe he is still in the area.
Police are urging the public to call 911 if they see Thacker, who is also homeless. Police said people should not approach Thacker because he is considered armed and dangerous.
Police have arrested 53 year old Cleo William McClellan for assisting Thacker in Simpson's murder.
Simpson was found dead in a vacant lot about 10:35 a.m. Monday by a man walking his dog near the West Broadway viaduct.
An autopsy ruled Simpson's death was due to blunt-force trauma. Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to call 712-328-4728 or Crime Stoppers at 712-328-7867.
