Timothy Smith, 39, was fatally shot just after 12:16 a.m. on January 1, 2018, in downtown Anchorage near West Fourth Avenue and D Street, the busy bar corridor by the Gaslight Lounge. Officers found him mortally wounded and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The killing was Anchorage’s first homicide of 2018, occurring less than an hour after midnight.

In the immediate aftermath detectives circulated images and details of a silver or gray Chevrolet TrailBlazer that had been seen in the area; the SUV was missing the passenger-side half of its front bumper. Investigators asked anyone who recognized the vehicle or knew its occupants to come forward, while crime-scene teams searched Fourth Avenue and nearby blocks for evidence.

Does anyone who was in downtown Anchorage that New Year’s Eve remember seeing the distinctive TrailBlazer or other activity around West Fourth Avenue and D Street?
