From the Attorney General’s Office:

Dec. 2, 2022 (Anchorage, AK) – Yesterday, an Anchorage grand jury indicted 29-year-old Anthony Christopher Tinker on one count of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, and one count of tampering with physical evidence. On Nov. 11, 2022, the defendant is alleged to have murdered a bystander who attempted to intervene in an altercation between Tinker and two of his relatives.

If convicted at trial, Tinker faces a sentence of up to 99 years of imprisonment. Tinker is in custody and is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court on Dec. 5, 2022.

The defendant is also currently charged with numerous felony charges – including first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, and multiple counts of third-degree assault – in connection with an incident that took place several days after the murder. On Nov. 14, 2022, Tinker is alleged to have stolen two different vehicles before barricading himself in a residence.

These charges are only allegations and are not evidence of guilt. Defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial at which the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
