Jean-Pal (Jeanpal) Borge, a 20-year-old White male, was fatally shot in an East Anchorage parking lot shortly after midnight on January 29, 2015. Officers found his body several yards from his black SUV in the Costco on Debarr Road near Bragaw Street and San Jeronimo Court; the vehicle’s driver’s door was ajar and a torn plastic bag with marijuana in Ziploc bags lay nearby. Witnesses and charging documents describe the incident as a drug-related robbery that began when suspects tried to steal a quarter-pound of marijuana. A witness said one suspect pointed a pistol with a laser sight at Jean-Pal and fired a single shot to his forehead after a struggle; investigators determined Jean-Pal had pulled out a gun after exiting his SUV.

Using cellphone records and witness interviews, detectives identified suspects within days. By February 8, 2015, authorities had arrested 19-year-old Makur Chan and 18-year-old Nathaniel Kile Jr.; Chan was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of first-degree robbery, and Kile was charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery, with court documents saying Kile admitted he saw Chan fire the fatal shot. The investigation remained ongoing in February 2015; anyone with information was asked to contact the Anchorage Police Department or Anchorage Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone have information about Jean-Pal’s activities that night or about the robbery that could help investigators?
