By KTVA CBS 11
ANCHORAGE - Anchorage police said the man who opened fire in a Midtown garage Wednesday evening, killing one employee and injuring another, is still on the run.
Michael Curry, 43, was working as the service manager at R&R Garage when a white male in his mid-20s walked into the garage and attempted to rob him. The suspect, wearing a black beanie and carrying a backpack, fatally shot Curry before running south on Blueberry Street and escaping in a dark colored, mid-size SUV. Alfredo Esteban, 23, was also shot and remains in critical condition at a local hospital.
Police describe the suspect as roughly 6' tall and 180 pounds, and witnesses told them he wore a white, short-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes. He spoke with a European accent, they said.
Anchorage Police Department cruisers blocked off the area of Fireweed Lane, surrounding the garage for several hours while canine units searched for the shooter.
Anyone with information is asked to contact APD at 786-8900.
