Brandon Christopher Cook, a 30-year-old Native American man who had lived in Juneau after moving from Oklahoma, was shot and killed inside a mobile home at Kodzoff Acres Trailer Park on October 20, 2015. He worked in produce at Safeway and on the ramp for Alaska Airlines, and friends recalled him as someone who built a chosen family in Juneau where he had no blood relatives.

Police identified Christopher Strawn as the suspect; prosecutors say Strawn left the trailer after a dispute, returned with a shotgun, and fired a close-range shot into the back of Cook’s head. A 911 call from a friend who had been in the trailer described the gunshot and immediate aftermath. After a 2017 mistrial, a retrial later that year produced guilty verdicts on counts related to the killing.

The court later imposed a lengthy prison term. If anyone knew Brandon, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting at Kodzoff Acres, please come forward.
