Markland William Randell Morgan was 20 when he was shot and killed in a gym parking lot on Anchorage’s East Tudor Road. Shortly after 7:20 p.m. on January 8, 2022, police responded to reports of shots fired at the Alaska Club East, 5201 E. Tudor Road, and found Morgan deceased in the southwest corner of the lot. Detectives worked the scene, interviewed witnesses, and reviewed surveillance while the family and community began memorializing him.

The next day a separate domestic disturbance call led investigators to identify 21-year-old Kawika Pacarro as involved in the prior night’s killing. Officers followed Pacarro’s vehicle into the Bear Valley area; after he pulled onto a dead-end at Newell Drive and Clarks Road, Pacarro took his own life. No arrests were made and no charges were filed because the suspect died. The motive and the relationship between the two men remain under investigation. Did anyone who knew Markland or saw activity at the gym that night come forward with details?
