A second teen has been charged with the murder of a Palmer man, who was shot and killed earlier this year.
Referred to in earlier charging documents as “EA,” Ethan Angasan, 16, was indicted Wednesday on second-degree murder and manslaughter in connection with the killing of 45-year old Frank Pushruk.
In March, Jacob Dvorak, 17, was charged with first-degree murder after he admitted to shooting Pushruk in the face with a .45 handgun. The teenagers made plans to beat up Pushruk in retribution for allegedly raping a friend of theirs, according to charging documents.
The two reportedly picked up Pushruk from his home, then drove to a lookout point along the Glenn Highway, where they confronted him about the alleged sexual assault.
Dvorak then reportedly shot Pushruk once in the face and twice in the head after he had fallen down. Documents show Dvorak and Angasan then dumped then the body over a fence near Mile 52 of the Glenn Highway.
Angasan is also charged with criminally negligent homicide and tampering with evidence.
