Jacob Wodkowski, 36, was found in Wasilla with a gunshot wound to the head in the pre-dawn hours of October 6, 2023, after troopers responded to a report of an assault. He was rushed to an Anchorage-area hospital in critical condition and remained under intensive care for months. An autopsy by the State Medical Examiner determined the October 6 gunshot injury ultimately caused his death on January 24, 2024.

Troopers identified 38-year-old Wasilla resident Dustin Peters as a person of interest during an initial manhunt; tips led to Peters being located and taken into custody on October 7 on an outstanding warrant. Reporting drawn from a sworn affidavit describes the shooting as occurring in the garage of a residence connected to the men, suggesting the attack was targeted rather than random. Investigators charged Dustin Peters on February 13, 2024, with one count of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder in connection with Wodkowski’s death.

Does anyone have information about Jacob, his routine, or the events leading up to October 6, 2023?
