Sara Ashley Cummings, 34, of Anchorage, was one of two people found shot to death before dawn on September 9, 2025, in the snow-dump area by Davis Park along 5081 Mountain View Drive. Police were dispatched about 3:18 a.m. after a nearby person reported hearing gunfire and finding two people down outside. Officers called in the Crime Scene Team and the medical examiner described apparent gunshot wounds.

The other victim was identified the next day as 44-year-old Carl Nielsen Jr. Detectives interviewed witnesses, canvassed the wooded stretch near Davis Park — once the site of a large encampment cleared earlier in the year — and asked businesses for any overnight surveillance footage. Police described the incident as a double shooting and urged tips to Anchorage Crime Stoppers; as of mid-September no arrests had been announced and no suspect had been named.

Does anyone who frequented or worked near Davis Park that night have footage or information that could help investigators?
