After finding 18-year-old Fairbanks resident Brett Allen suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, he was transported to the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, where he was declared deceased.

As a result of that preliminary investigation, both Anthony and his son were arrested on charges of Murder I and transported to the Fairbanks Correctional Center.
