Just after midnight on December 21, 2015, reports of gunfire and a vehicle chase along West Tudor Road led officers to a young man near the railroad tracks: 22-year-old Jeramyha Mapusaga Talauega, Black male, who was pronounced dead at the scene. About twenty minutes later a mortally wounded 33-year-old Robin Porter arrived at an Anchorage hospital and died shortly after; his wife Meghan Porter drove him there and told detectives the shooting began during a drug sale gone wrong.

Police say Talauega arrived in a Toyota Corolla driven by 26-year-old Linda Chattell, with 23-year-old Solomon Brown Tavita as a passenger. The meeting spot was a red Dodge Durango occupied by Robin and Meghan Porter. Authorities allege Talauega stepped into the Durango to complete the deal, an argument erupted, and gunfire broke out from all three—Talauega, Meghan, and Robin—before Talauega collapsed near the tracks and Meghan sped Robin to the hospital while the Corolla briefly pursued.

Arrests followed within days: Meghan Porter was arrested December 21, 2015; Linda Chattell on December 22; and Solomon Brown Tavita on December 23. Grand jury indictments in early January 2016 broadened charges against Tavita, Chattell, and Meghan Pugh. No further suspects were being sought in the deaths of Talauega and Porter. Does anyone have information about the events that night or the people involved?
