Carlos Lamar Battle, 35, was found dead in the stairwell off the lobby of a downtown Fairbanks motel on April 16, 2017. Authorities ruled his death a homicide; the manner of killing has not been publicly detailed. No arrests or suspects have been announced, and the Fairbanks Police Department lists the case among its active unsolved homicides.

Born October 26, 1981, in Thomasville, Georgia, Battle was a 2000 graduate of Thomasville High School and enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2001, serving in logistics at Fort Benning for about a decade. At the time of his death he lived in Fairbanks and was remembered as a devoted father to three daughters and a member of First Unity Missionary Baptist Church. Funeral services were held in Thomasville where he was buried.

Does anyone in Fairbanks or Thomasville have information about Battle’s movements in April 2017 or remember noticing anything unusual around the downtown motel that day?
