The man who was pronounced dead at the scene of a shooting in downtown Anchorage has been identified as 23-year-old Leroy Manogiamanu.

The shooting took place at about 2:50 am outside the Gaslight Lounge, which is nearly directly across from the Anchorage Police Department’s downtown headquarters.

When officers arrived, they found three victims, one of whom had non-life-threatening injuries, one with life-threatening injuries; and one deceased adult male victim, who was identified on Monday morning. Medics transported the victims to the hospital. A fourth victim was later located with non-life-threatening injuries. The Crime Scene Team has responded to process the scene. The suspect is still at large.

Manogiamanu, who lived with family members in the Muldoon area of Anchorage, has no prior run-ins with the law in Alaska. His court record has just minor vehicle-related violations.
