An Anchorage man was sentenced today to serve 111 years in prison for murder and attempted murder for a 2007 shooting at a house party in south Anchorage.
Dirkston Gonzales, now 21, was 17 in 2007 when he was asked to leave the house party for fighting. Dirkston later returned to the home with a .44 caliber pistol, he shot and killed David 'D.J.' Irvin through a door and seriously injured Stephanie Lockhart who was attempting to hide in a corner. Gonzales fled the scene, but was arrested by Anchorage police officers shortly thereafter. Gonzales was convicted by a jury of murder, attempted murder and burglary in 2009. Superior Court Judge Eric Aarseth sentenced Gonzales to 99 years with 79 suspended for the murder, 60 years with 30 suspended for the attempted murder and two years with no suspended time for burglary. Gonzales will be eligible for parole in 37 years. |

he killed my son I wanted him to die at first but now I understand its better to have him in jail for a very long time missimg out on what his life could have been. He should really be lying in the ground rotting like my son and whoever doesnt agree, have your son murdered by some punk and see how you really feel.

so, limiting the freedom of the killer is far worse than his ending the lives of 10? You sound like a confused past offender, who never learned the value of human life. With that low of an understanding, sounds like you'll be back there again...

he gets 111 years and he only killed one person. If only he laid low for another decade. chances are he probably regrets it. even 40 years would be too much. if this was me i would not tolorate this. humanity is evil. locking someone in a box for life is far worse than killing 10 people.
