Clayton Martinelli, 47, was shot and killed outside a Midtown Anchorage four-plex on April 5, 2021. Officers responded about 3:40 a.m. to the 1700 block of East 59th Avenue and found Martinelli with a fatal wound to the upper chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Anchorage police publicly identified the victim the next day, correcting earlier reports to confirm his name as Clayton Martinelli.

Police say the fatal shooting followed a dispute at the four-plex. Detectives focused on a neighbor, Dustin Allen Perry, 29, who was arrested on April 5 and initially charged with second-degree murder and violations of conditions of release. An Anchorage grand jury returned an indictment on April 22, 2021, that included one count of first-degree murder, one count of second-degree murder, a count of fourth-degree weapons misconduct, and additional release-related charges.

If anyone knew Clayton, lived at that four-plex, or has information about the dispute that led to the shooting, please share what is known.
