Michael Boyd, 37, was found dead in the early hours of Saturday, November 22, 2025, in a vehicle parked near a gas station on Farmers Loop Road just outside Fairbanks. A call about a deceased man in a car came in at about 12:55 a.m.; troopers located Boyd in the driver’s seat and quickly treated the incident as a suspected homicide. The State Medical Examiner’s Office received his body for autopsy, and troopers confirmed he died from a gunshot wound.

The Alaska Bureau of Investigation has taken the lead on the case. Authorities say Boyd was alone in the parked vehicle and have appealed to anyone driving in the Farmers Loop / Old Steese Highway area between midnight and 1 a.m. that night to submit dash-camera video or other information. Officials have stressed the killing remains unsolved and have not released any suspect description or announced arrests as of late November 2025.

Boyd’s death was one of several firearm-related violent incidents in the Fairbanks area that weekend, and the Bureau of Investigation moved additional staff to assist. If anyone was in that area around midnight on November 22 and saw something or has footage, can you contact Alaska State Troopers with what you know?
