Robert Alexander Arch, 33, was shot dead outside his home on Sable Street in Alpena, Michigan on the afternoon of May 13, 2015. A vehicle pulled up, and a man inside opened fire in what authorities described as a drive-by shooting. Arch was taken to a hospital, identified his assailant to first responders, and died shortly thereafter.

Witnesses said Tank drove to Arch’s house, was told to leave, returned a short time later, and the shots were fired. Tank fled but was captured later the same day while leaving town.

Tank was charged with first-degree premeditated murder and related firearms offenses; testimony at trial included statements from a paramedic who said Arch identified Tank as his shooter and from an eyewitness who was with Arch that day. The court found Tank guilty and imposed life without parole, along with sentences for the related weapons counts.
