ANCHORAGE – A murder investigation is underway after one man was found dead and another injured in a stabbing at a Douglas Island home early Thursday morning.
Shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday, the Juneau Police Department received a call about a stabbing on the 3400 block of Foster Avenue. A 37-year-old man was found dead at the home, and a 19-year-old man was taken to Bartlett Regional Hospital with injuries.
An investigation found that a “dispute over property” led to a fight involving a knife, according to a statement from Juneau police.
“The other party in the dispute [is in] police custody and JPD is not looking for any outstanding suspects,” the statement says.
Juneau police, however, say they are looking for additional witnesses and ask people with information to call them.
