The police identify the man who was killed by the officer in the late evening shooting in the Bragaw Street

The Anchorage police identified the man on Thursday, who was shot on Monday evening by an officer in the Bragaw Street as a 41-year-old Utuva Alaelua.

The incident began shortly after 11:30 p.m. in the Bragaw Street in the area of ​​Peterkin and Thompson Avenues with a traffic stop for a broken headlight, police chief Sean said in a media conference on Tuesday. Two officials contacted the driver and a passenger.

Both officials said they had seen a weapon in the driver's “lap area” during the stop, said Case.

An official on the passenger side “commands commands,” said the police in an update on Thursday. Shortly afterwards, the official shot a round, the update said.

Alaelua was hit and died at the scene, the police said.

The shootout was captured on the cameras of body and dashboard, the police said. But Case said it was dark at the time of the stop, and the movement with weak light and officer meant that the camera film material carried with the body was less clear than usual.

The police published a few more details about the shootings on Thursday.

The spokesman Chris Barraza said that the passenger was female, but answered no other questions, including the question of whether Alaelua said something about the officials during the stop or moved the object in his lap.

A man with the same family name – Puipuia Lipoi Alaelua, also 41 – was killed by the police on February 21 during a patient situation in a hotel in Midtown. The police did not answer any questions about a relationship between the two men.

Family members said Alaska News Quelle that they were brothers.

In the incident in February, Puipuia Lipoi Alaelua barricaded himself in a room in the Hampton Inn Hotel with a woman and four children after the police had announced. The camera film carried by the police last week showed him the fire through the door twice and later used the woman and a baby as a human shield when the officials collapsed.

Two officers fired and killed him. Nobody else was hurt, the authorities said. The state office for special persecution found that the application of deadly violence was justified.
