One person has been confirmed dead after an early Thursday morning shooting in the Russian Jack neighborhood — an apparent homicide, police say.
The Anchorage Police Department responded to the report of a shooting near the intersection of Bragaw Street and San Jeronimo Court at around 12:30 a.m. When they arrived they found a deceased male in an area business parking lot. No arrests have been made.
This is the fourth fatal shooting of 2015 and “appears to be a homicide,” APD said in a statement. An 18-year-old was killed in a Sunday evening shooting at a local Walgreens — the municipality’s first homicide of 2015. On Tuesday, an early morning shooting at an East Anchorage fourplex left a couple dead.
