A late‑night shooting on February 25, 2024, left two people dead and two gravely wounded in the Inupiat village of Point Hope. Responders called at about 11:35 p.m. found 75‑year‑old Konrad Killigvuk and Molly Stone dead inside a home on Agvik Street; two other men had severe gunshot injuries. Witnesses reported seeing a teenage boy enter the house carrying a handgun, open fire, and flee on a four‑wheeler across the snowbound streets.

Shortly after the attack the suspect’s father escorted the teen to the Point Hope police station. Charging documents say the 16‑year‑old admitted the shooting in an interview conducted with his parents present. Authorities charged Guy Nashookpuk with two counts of first‑degree murder and two counts of attempted first‑degree murder; bail was set at $1 million and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for March 8, 2024. No motive was publicly detailed in the immediate aftermath.

The shooting prompted schools to make attendance optional and brought behavioral health counselors to the village as families mourned. If anyone in Point Hope has information about that night or knew Konrad Killigvuk, please come forward to share what was seen or known.
