Joshua Floyd Sours III, a 27-year-old Alaskan Native, was shot in the early morning hours of January 22, 2016, in Kotzebue, Alaska, and later pronounced dead at the local hospital. Police and paramedics responded to a shooting on Second Avenue at about 1:18 a.m.; officers found Sours with a gunshot wound and he could not be saved. The killing occurred during a planned robbery at his home, according to later court records.

Three teenagers — Brandon Michael Nelson, Tony Jackson, and Frank Jackson Jr. — were arrested within days and arraigned on January 25, 2016, initially charged with second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and tampering with physical evidence. The legal case proceeded through plea agreements and sentencing in the years that followed.

Did anyone in Kotzebue know Joshua, his routines, or have information about that night that could still be relevant?
