Jared Ward, 38, was found mortally wounded on the evening of November 20, 2020, after reports of shots fired in Anchorage’s Mountain View neighborhood near Bliss Street and Pine Street. Officers arriving on scene discovered Ward unresponsive with upper-body trauma; investigators later determined the injury was from a gunshot that occurred in the 4600 block of East 4th Avenue. Detectives canvassed the area, searched for surveillance footage, and collected shell casings as they tried to reconstruct a timeline of the shooting.

Police identified Ward publicly in the days after the incident but did not announce any arrest or name a suspect in initial updates. Community notices urged anyone with information to contact investigators or submit tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers. Does anyone in the Mountain View area recall seeing or hearing anything on the evening of November 20, 2020, that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
