Anchorage police are asking the public for help as they investigate a man’s fatal shooting along a South Anchorage shopping corridor Thursday morning.
According to a police statement, officers responded at about 5 a.m. Thursday to a report of shots fired near the 100 block of West Dimond Boulevard. They found the victim dead, with at least one upper-body gunshot wound.
Police spokeswoman Renee Oistad said the victim was found in the parking lot of a Global Credit Union branch, on the northwest corner of West Dimond and King Street. Dispatchers received the original shots-fired call at 4:59 a.m., with officers arriving in the area at 5:07 a.m. and spotting the victim six minutes later.
No arrests have been made in the shooting, which police say is a homicide. Investigators ask anyone with information, including surveillance video from the area, to call police at 311.
This is Anchorage’s 10th homicide of 2023.
