A man was shot Wednesday morning when two other men broke into a Mountain View apartment, according to the Anchorage Police Department. The victim was in stable, but serious condition by early-afternoon, police said.
Two men — Ryan Fisher, 32, and Sonny Lelili’o, 18 — were arrested and charged in connection to the incident.
According to APD, in the early-morning hours Fisher and Lelili’o approached a man leaving an apartment in a complex on the 600 block of North Bunn Street.
“Fisher pointed a gun at the man, mentioned the name of a person who lives in the target apartment, and demanded that he get ‘his stuff’ back,” police wrote in a release. “The victim adult male pushed past the two suspects and ran away on foot.”
Then the duo broke into the apartment and Fisher pointed his gun at another man and requested his “stuff” again. Fischer and the man began to struggle over the gun and the unidentified man was shot, police said. APD spokesperson Renee Oistaid said she did not know details to the nature of what the “stuff” was.
Fisher and Lelili’o fled on foot and took nothing from the apartment.
Police officers were notified at 4:32 a.m. After they arrived at the scene, officers set up a perimeter. Fisher and Lelili’o were discovered asleep in a vehicle, less than a block away from the apartment complex.
Fisher was arrested on an outstanding felony warrant for drugs. He faces three charges of first-degree robbery, assault and burglary, as well as two charges of third-degree assault and weapons misconduct.
Lelili’o was charged with first-degree robbery, assault and burglary.
