Police release name of victim in motorcycle homicide case
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Anchorage police have released the name of a man killed on a motorcycle that was being chased by a stolen sport utility vehicle.
Thirty-six-year-old Christopher Lebert died early Wednesday morning. Police are investigating the case as a homicide.
The SUV was stolen Tuesday night at the Port of Alaska.
Patrol officers shortly after 12:30 a.m. Wednesday responded to a crash on Minnesota Parkway near 15th Avenue. Minnesota Parkway is the main north-south thoroughfare on the city’s west side.
They found Lebert dead and his motorcycle dragged some distance away.
The stolen SUV exited on the off-ramp leading to West High School and was found abandoned in a neighbourhood southwest of the crash scene.
Police say the crash was not a hit-and-run. They’re asking for witnesses with information to contact them.
