Treyndon Lewis, 42, was shot on the evening of October 11, 2024, in Anchorage’s Mountain View neighborhood near North Bunn Street and Thompson Avenue. Officers were dispatched at 6:16 p.m. and found Lewis outside with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Police closed nearby streets while crime scene technicians documented the scene and collected evidence, and later notified the family before confirming his identity.

Investigators said they had contacted everyone believed to be involved and did not see an ongoing threat to the public. In the days after the killing, 33-year-old Paul Baldwin Jr. was detained in connection with the case and arrested on an unrelated warrant, and 30-year-old Chontae Ivery was arrested on charges tied to tampering with evidence after the shooting. Reports say a witness saw the suspected shooter leave in a pickup; the driver initially claimed he fled at gunpoint but later admitted driving the suspect and Ivery away and that Ivery asked him to destroy evidence. Police seized the vehicle.

What additional information about the events leading up to the confrontation might help clarify who was responsible for Lewis’s death?
