21-Year-Old Accused Gunman Pleads Not Guilty To Attempted MurderMozelle Nalan, 19, still on life support after being shot multiple times outside Spenard assisted living home for the mentally illRelated Content
ANCHORAGE—Michael McEvoy, 21, pled not guilty Thursday afternoon to attempted murder.
McEvoy was accused of shooting Mozelle Nalan, 19, at a Spenard assisted living home for the mentally ill, where they had both once lived.
Both Nalan and McEvoy were at the home, Soteria-Alaska, on June 30, the day the shooting occurred.
Witnesses told police there was no sign of an argument or other obvious explanation for what they heard next—gunshots ringing out from the back deck.
A resident who rushed outside told police she saw McEvoy standing over Nalan, shooting her multiple times in the head and neck.
Family members attending the arraignment from Skagway, where Nalan grew up, say the young woman is on life support and that doctors told them recently that Nalan is not expected to live.
The family says it is likely she will be removed from life support in the near future..
McEvoy has been in prison since his arrest and today a judge set his bail at $500,000. His trial is supposed to start on October 31. |

Whoa! This guy is going to be in Jail for the rest of his life. Probably a good thing since he looks like he is 5 and a half beers short of a six pack.

No--I didn't do it, I'm innocent..I'm not mentally competent. I used to live in this home. I need help. Take him out and shoot him as many times as he did her !! For ONCE, let's see some JUSTICE served.

He plans to use the fact that the person that was a witness is not a credible witness due to the fact that they lived at the assisted living home also he will pretend to be not capable to stand trial isn't the justice system here great just look what they have created

AMEN to Bob D. There's too many excuses for these sorry @$$e$ who commit crimes, half the time because they know they will only get a slap on the wrist. Make the punishments fit the crimes and I'll bet money that the crime rate will decrease. I vote to go back to public hangings and and stop sustaining people on death row for that's it, you're done!

Being not mentally competent should NOT be used as an excuse.Everyone,even mentally impaired know the difference between right and wrong, unless your completely NUTS!.Not many are, its usually drugs, liquor,or just stupidity.He is none of the above.Playing the game as most do.

What's with the Smirk on His Face? Seems like they could offer the other Prisoners an incentive to remove that from Him. A few extra priveleges? I'd kick in a Half Gallon of Booze for each of them! Did He just want to see if His Gun would Kill? Hasn't anyone told Him about Suicide yet? Maybe He could give that a try next. There has to be some reason that He did this. Even an Insane Reason is better than nothing.

It's sad because I knew her and she was my best friend I was pretty sad when I heard she died :( I miss Mozelle. I was friends with her family when she lived in Skagway. Her father is doing well but I miss her. Rip Mozelle.
