On August 11, 2023 at about 3:47 PM, Anchorage police responded to a shooting near Schodde Street and Tarwater Drive in the Mountain View neighborhood. Officers found 24-year-old Leimarliana Popoalii and an adult man with gunshot wounds; Popoalii was pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly after arrival and the male victim was taken into surgery.

Witnesses and bystander video show Popoalii and 31-year-old Juliana Khatthamane involved in a physical fight in the street with both women’s children nearby. After the women separated, Popoalii was seen kicking Khatthamane in the head while Khatthamane was seated. Khatthamane then retrieved a firearm and fired multiple rounds, striking Popoalii and the male victim. Khatthamane was taken into custody and charged with first- and second-degree murder in connection with Popoalii’s death and first-degree assault for the injured male; she was remanded to Hiland Mountain Correctional Center.
