The Anchorage Police Department report that they have made significant headway in the Chester Creek homicide that occurred on Sunday and have a suspect in custody.

During the beginning of the week, police sought the public’s help in locating a person of interest in the shooting that took the life of one and seriously injured another, a juvenile.

APD sought a 45-year-old woman for questioning in the case. She was located and interviewed on Tuesday.

Police also took a juvenile suspect into custody for the killing.

The preliminary investigation at the scene near the Sullivan Arena discovered that a group of individuals got into an altercation at the ball fields that carried on into the woods nearby. It ended with the juvenile firing several shots into an 18-year-old and a juvenile. The deceased victim was earlier identified as a juvenile in the original APD release. His identity has yet to be released pending next-of-kin notification.

Both victims were shot multiple times. The seriously wounded juvenile was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The investigation is continuing.
