Andre LaFrance, 33, was found dead after an overnight shooting at a residence in the Montana Creek area near Talkeetna on April 18, 2015. Alaska State Troopers entered the home after a 911 call and discovered two men with gunshot wounds; LaFrance was pronounced dead at the scene. The other man, 57-year-old Billy Kidd of Willow, was airlifted to an Anchorage hospital in critical condition.

Troopers identified both men and said evidence indicated Kidd shot LaFrance and then turned the gun on himself, with the 911 caller later identified as Kidd telling dispatchers he had just killed someone. No arrests were made, and later reporting and public notices link LaFrance to Wasilla and record him as a lifelong Alaskan who died in Talkeetna on April 18, 2015. If anyone has information about LaFrance, his movements that night, or the Montana Creek residence, please come forward.
