Gunnar Swan, a 19-year-old white male, died on January 27, 2019, in Wasilla, Alaska, after a single gunshot to the neck. Alaska State Troopers responded about 2:30 a.m. to a home in the Wasilla/Palmer area following reports of a shooting. Investigators say a handgun was pointed at Swan’s neck and the trigger was pulled; the single round proved fatal.

Troopers arrested Jordan Flowers at the scene that day. Initial charges included manslaughter and two counts of felony assault; Flowers was held without bail, given a blood draw, and remanded to the Mat-Su pretrial facility. Records describe Swan and Flowers as friends, and later reporting indicated the case advanced on murder charges with court dates pending.

If anyone knew Gunnar, his routines, or was in the Wasilla/Palmer area that night, please share what might help explain what happened.
