Detectives learned the identities of two people responsible for the shooting. On June 22nd, 21-year-old Dominick L. Santana and 20-year-old Keilen J. Reynolds were each located and transported to the Anchorage Police Department for questioning.  Afterwards they were both remanded at the Anchorage Correctional Complex on the charges of Murder in the Second Degree, Manslaughter, Misconduct Involving a Weapon in the Second Degree, Assault in the First Degree, and Assault in the Third Degree.

Initial indications are the two suspects were in an altercation with others in the area of E 40th and Fairbanks Street which culminated into the suspects discharging their weapons resulting in two adult males being struck, one fatally.  The nature of the altercation, who was all involved, and whether they were known to one another are all still under investigation.
