Dustin Marx, 28, was shot and killed on April 15, 2019, on private property near Seward, Alaska. Troopers reported Marx and another man, 40-year-old Michael White, were found inside a van after an encounter with the property owner on Nash Road just after 6 p.m.; both men died at the scene.

Court filings and early reports say property owner Joseph Chandler Jr. called authorities and told them he shot the two men after they drove onto his land and an argument erupted when he told them to leave. Chandler told investigators he believed his life was in danger; investigators later noted no weapons were found in the victims’ van. Chandler was arrested the next day and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

The shooting and its aftermath left many questions about what happened during the confrontation on the property line. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about Marx’s movements that evening is asked to come forward.
