ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – A 23-year-old southwest Alaska village man has been arrested in the shooting death of a fellow resident.
Alaska State Troopers say Brian Fancyboy was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and weapons misconduct Thursday in the death of 27-year-old Dennis Alick.
Both men are from Pilot Station, a Yukon River community 425 miles west of Anchorage.
A village public safety officer told troopers shortly after midnight Thursday that a man had been shot to death and a suspect identified.
Troopers flew to Pilot Station, and after consulting with prosecutors, arrested Fancyboy.
Troopers flew Fancyboy to Bethel. He’s jailed at Yukon Kuskokwim Correctional Center.
