Brian Francis Wetmore was 42 when he was shot inside an Anchorage apartment on February 16, 2019, near Earthquake Park off the 3000-block of Wendy’s Way. Officers arrived just before 1 p.m.; Wetmore was found wounded and taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The scene was processed by the department’s crime-scene team.

Police described the incident as isolated and taking place within the residence rather than a random neighborhood attack. Investigators said they had made contact with everyone involved, suggesting the circle of people tied to the shooting was limited and known, but they released few details about what led to the gunfire, what was said inside the apartment, or any motive.

If anyone has information about that day or knew Brian, please share what you remember with local investigators.
