A family in Alaska is mourning after a Thanksgiving Day shooting that left a 23 year old woman dead. According to the Anchorage Police Department, her older brother has been charged with second degree murder.
Police say officers were called to a home in East Anchorage around 3:15 p.m. on Thanksgiving, where they found Amanda with a gunshot wound. She later died at a hospital. Her brother Moses, 27, was taken into custody and charged. A judge set his bail at $500,000 cash, according to the Anchorage Daily News.
Authorities received two 911 calls. In the first, an uncle told a dispatcher he heard a pop and believed Amanda had been shot by accident. Their grandmother later gave police a different account. According to charging documents reported by the Anchorage Daily News, she told officers that Moses came into the room upset that Amanda had unfriended or blocked him on Facebook, then aimed a gun at Amanda and fired while Amanda was holding her 1 year old son.
Moses has told detectives the gun went off accidentally while he was twirling it on his finger, and he has maintained that the shooting was not intentional. The charge is an allegation, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Baller Alert sends our condolences to Amanda’s family and loved ones.
