On the morning of December 12, 2009, at about 2:30 a.m., a gunfire incident at the Inlet Inn on the 500 block of H Street left two adult men wounded. The front desk clerk survived non-life-threatening injuries after an armed robbery, but 76-year-old Sang In Chun, an Asian male who had been sitting on a lobby couch, was struck and died of his wounds.

Early investigations produced a sketch and witness descriptions of a suspect described as a Hispanic man about 5 feet, 8 inches tall, with black hair and facial stubble, but the case went cold as leads dwindled. In April 2024 a man identified as John Patrick Dahlquist contacted police and confessed to entering the Inlet Inn that night, robbing the clerk, and shooting both the clerk and Sang In Chun; Dahlquist said he fled by taxi and the weapon was identified as a Hi-Point 9mm pistol. An Anchorage grand jury later indicted Dahlquist on three counts of second-degree murder; he is being held in custody pending trial.

Did anyone in Anchorage remember seeing a Hispanic man matching that description near the Inlet Inn in December 2009 or know anything about who might have taken a taxi from that area that night?
