Kortez Brown, a 33-year-old Black man from Anchorage, was struck by a single gunshot on the night of January 13, 2018, in East Anchorage. Police answered a shooting call around 9:53 pm in the 8000 block of East 36th Avenue; Brown was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and died the following day.

Investigators identified two persons of interest in the days after the shooting: Carlton Tarkington and Aarron Settje. Tarkington surrendered and was held on preexisting felony warrants. Settje remained at large for weeks and already faced multiple felony charges from October, including Class C felony theft, criminal trespass, and causing fear of injury with a weapon. In late January and early February he was linked to an armed robbery at a Sportsman’s Warehouse and was later spotted after a Nixle alert; officers arrested him near C and Dimond on outstanding warrants that included those tied to Brown’s killing.

Does anyone have information about Brown’s last movements on January 13, 2018?
