For 11 months, the families of two people killed at Point Woronzof have waited for answers. Finally, two days after what would have been one victim’s 20th birthday, her mother got a call from investigators, telling her the news: Someone had been indicted for the deaths.
Jamal Hall, a burglary suspect wanted by the Anchorage Police Department, was indicted Monday for the double homicide at Point Woronzof in January.
“Knowing that her killer is hopefully gonna be behind bars here soon has brought a lot of relief,” Rose Mullenax said about the news.
Anchorage police issued a statement on Dec. 1 asking the public for helping locating him in connection to a robbery at a Walgreens store on Northern Lights Boulevard.
Along with first-degree robbery and third-degree assault, Hall now faces charges of two counts each of first- and second-degree murder for the deaths of 20-year-old Foriegnne Aubert-Morissette and 19-year-old Selena Annette Mullenax. The two were found at Point Woronzof early on the morning of Jan. 28 by a passerby. Selena Mullenax was already dead when police arrived, but Aubert-Morissette was still alive. He later died at a nearby hospital.

“The Anchorage Police Department’s homicide unit has investigated the homicide over the last 11 months,” Anchorage District Attorney Clint Campion said in a statement. “Allegedly, Hall shot Aubert-Morrissette in the head near the beach then allegedly shot Mullenax halfway down the hill.”
Campion said bail in the homicide case has been set for $1 million, while a judge issued a no-bail warrant for Hall’s arrest in the robbery.
Hall is still at large, according to police.
“The Anchorage District Attorney’s Office and the Anchorage Police Department are concerned that Hall poses a danger to the safety of members of our community,” Campion wrote.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately. Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact detective David Cordie at 907-786-8900.
“Mr. Hall is a young man, I understand that he and those close to him might be very scared about what he could be facing and I understand and appreciate that,” Campion said in an interview. “It’s our goal and the goal of the police department to bring Mr. Hall safely into custody in connection with this warrant allow his rights to be protected and make sure no one else is harmed.”
While Rose Mullenax prepared for her first holiday season without her daughter, Hall was out living life, as evidenced by posts made on a Facebook account that appears to belong to him.
The posts are no longer accessible to the public.
Campion said investigators haven’t released much information about the case — including how they connected Hall as a suspect — because they’re protecting the investigation.
“We want to make sure that we maintain the integrity of the investigation so that we’re not putting out information into the community that would only be known by people that would be at a homicide scene or would have seen something or heard something,” he explained.
He didn’t go into details about the relationship between Hall and the victims, but said investigators do not believe the killings were random. If convicted, Hall faces up to 99 in years in prison for each murder charge, Campion said.
“A defendant’s sentence is determined by the judge who must consider the circumstances of the offense, the impact on the victims and the community, and the potential for rehabilitation of the defendant,” he added.
