Anchorage police have arrested and charged an 18-year-old female in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred on Jan. 25 near the University Area Walgreens.
Keiara Reynaud has been charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery, according to a release from the Anchorage Police Department. She was transported to the Anchorage Jail.
The shooting, Anchorage’s first homicide of 2015, was a drug deal gone bad, police say.
The victim, 18-year-old Charles Gustav Steinhilpert III, and a 14-year-old who police have named as the suspect, planned to meet at the Walgreens, located at the intersection of Lake Otis Parkway and Tudor Road. Sometime during the interaction, the 14-year-old produced a gun and fired it, striking Steinhilpert, who was sitting in the vehicle, APD says.
The 14-year-old was taken into custody after police say he turned himself in.
Police are asking anyone with additional information to contact APD at 786-8900.
