Mykel Allan Roberts, 29, was charged with first degree murder, attempted murder and going armed with intent in the killing of Dexter Meeks. No suspect was identified in Meeks death before Roberts confessed to the killing at a California sheriff s office last year.

Cedar Rapids Police Announce Arrest in Cold Case Murder
In what is clearly a wonderful case of cooperation between police departments nearly two thousand miles apart, the Cedar Rapids Police Department (CRPD) has announced an arrest in a cold case murder.
In the early morning hours of June 26, 2011, Dexter Meeks of Cedar Rapids and his brother, Andrew, had just returned from the Tycoon Bar in downtown Cedar Rapids. As the two were sitting on the porch of Dexter s apartment on 15th St. S.E., Andrew noticed a man stop in the alley. He then began firing a gun at them. With Dexter s assistance, Andrew was able to get inside to safety. However, Dexter had been shot in the head and would soon pass away. Dexter Meeks was only 22. His brother was the only witness who actually saw the shooter, but he was not able to identify the suspect.
