Jose Guadalupe González Trejo, a 46-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, finished a work week in Anchorage and didn’t show up for his shift on July 16, 2016. Coworkers reported him missing that day and police opened an investigation after family members expressed unusual concern. Leads dwindled and the case went cold for years.

In summer 2021 human remains were found near Turnagain Pass along the Seward Highway. Forensic analysis, including DNA testing by the FBI Laboratory, confirmed the remains were González Trejo’s. His death was reclassified as a homicide. On October 17, 2022 an Anchorage grand jury indicted 39-year-old Jose Evangelista on two counts of second-degree murder, charging that González Trejo was shot on July 16, 2016. Police listed case numbers 16-29833 and 22-14704 and asked anyone with information from that summer to contact investigators.

If anyone has a memory or detail about José Guadalupe González Trejo’s movements in mid-July 2016, can you share what you know with detectives?
