On the early morning of July 29, 2016, 21-year-old Treyveon-Kindell Thompson was killed on a street near Duben Avenue and Bolin Street in Anchorage. Neighbors reported gunfire just after 3:00 a.m.; officers found Thompson lying in the roadway and he was pronounced dead at the scene. He had been bicycling home from work and his yellow Motiv mountain bike was missing when police arrived, a detail that underlined how suddenly the attack occurred.

Detectives asked the public for help and the FBI assisted with a $10,000 reward, but there were no immediate arrests or publicly identified suspects. In November 2016 Anchorage police fatally shot 40-year-old James Dale Ritchie in a separate downtown exchange; testing later linked a Colt Python recovered after that incident to Thompson’s killing and other summer homicides. With the suspected shooter dead, the case was closed without an arrest. If anyone knew Treyveon-Kindell Thompson, his routines, or saw a yellow Motiv bike that night, please share what you know.
