Anchorage Police responded to a call of a domestic disturbance at the 5400 block of Camelot Drive at about 9:52 PM on December 20, 2016.  The caller told police that her husband had just threatened her with a gun and that a disturbance amongst family members was now occurring in the street.  Moments later, a witness called police stating that shots had been fired outside the female victim’s residence and her husband had left with a friend in a vehicle.
 
At about 10:23 PM, APD received a call from a local hospital that a man had been brought in with a gunshot wound to the chest.  The victim of the shooting was pronounced dead at the hospital.
 
The investigation revealed that the victim and his wife had gotten into an altercation earlier that evening and that the victim threatened his wife with a gun.  The woman called her father, Valu Valu, Jr., 55, to tell him of the incident.   Valu Valu, Jr. drove to his daughter’s home and confronted his son-in-law in the driveway.  At some point, Valu Valu, Jr. produced a gun and shot the victim, who was then transported by a friend to the hospital where he later died.
 
Valu Valu, Jr. was charged with Murder 2, Manslaughter, Misconduct Involving Weapons, and Tampering with Evidence.  He was remanded to the Anchorage Jail.
