Jacob J. Stough, a 28-year-old white man, was found dead inside a dark-colored sedan left in the middle of the 8900 block of Dewberry Street in South Anchorage on the evening of March 16, 2018. Residents discovered the car shortly after 7 p.m., called 911, and officers began a death investigation at the scene. By the next morning detectives concluded Stough had been shot in the upper body and ruled the case a homicide.

Investigators early on described the killing as appearing targeted and drug-related. On March 19, 2018, police publicly identified the victim as Jacob Stough and named a suspect, 39-year-old Samson Costigan; a first-degree murder warrant was issued and the suspect was warned to be considered armed and dangerous. Following a citizen tip, APD’s Investigative Support Unit later took the named suspect into custody, ending the manhunt.

If anyone knew Jacob Stough or has information about his movements on March 16, 2018, please share what you know with investigators.
