A 24 -year -old American army soldier allegedly killed a “execution style” man in an apartment near an Alaska base, police said.
Adayus Robertson was arrested on Friday for murder positions after the body of Joseph Casas, 37, was found with a gunshot wound in the head in an apartment in Fairbanks, according to a police statement shared on Facebook on Monday on Monday.
Robertson is an active service soldier parked with the 11th Airborne Division in Fort Wainwright on the outskirts of Fairbanks, according to the Tribune News service.
Shots were heard in the apartment just before 10 am on Friday, where officers found that Fairbanks resident houses had been shot in the head, according to police reports.
Casas was pronounced later dead at the Fairbanks Memorial hospital, according to the officers.
“It seemed that Casas had a consecutive penetration gunshot wound,” said a doctor of the police emergency room, the officers wrote in the complaint. “It seemed that Casas had executed the leg.”
GPS monitoring data showed Robertson at the shooting scene before moving away, according to a sworn statement of probable cause presented in the case of murder.
The couple was in the same room when the shot was heard, witnesses told the police.
Robertson was in the bathroom with a woman when she left her alone, the witness told the police, as reported by Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
Suddenly, he heard a strong explosion before Robertson told him they needed to leave, he said. “He took things from the table before I left,” before murmuring how “disorderly” was the situation, according to the woman’s statement.
He was found with two other people at Big Dipper Ice Arena in Fairbanks later on Friday with a gun magazine about him, according to the police.
One of the men with him said that “he thought he was going to be the next one,” and was in the bathroom when the gun shot, according to the complaint.
Casas “did not deserve what happened to him,” the man told the officers, before accepting that the shooting was an execution, according to the complaint.
A .40 caliber officer was recovered from a paper near the shooting scene by an officer after the snow tracks.
The weapon was bought by a relative from Robertson, according to the police statement.
HEFACES CHARGES OF FIRST GRADE MURDER AND TEST HANDLING, as well as violate probation for two previous open cases.
A judge on Sunday set his bail at $ 2.5 million.
Casas had been “bouncing and saying many crazy things,” Robertson told a detective before he later asked to speak with a lawyer and refused to provide information, said the police statement.
Robertson enlisted in the army in 2023 and Fort Wainwright is his first and unique destination, according to the division spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Leah Ganoni.
He is a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear specialist whose range is deprived of first class.
Robertson, who was in the monitoring of the ankle prior to the trial associated with a case of a serious crime assault presented last month, met Casas, according to the police.
The alleged gun hit a woman in January and was accused of assault on March 19, according to a criminal complaint filed in the case.
Robertson paid an cash bond of $ 10,000 and was released several days later, before leaving the house trial at the base, which led him to face a separate escape charge on March 27.
On April 1, Robertson was allowed to leave the base after a judge modified the conditions of his release to eliminate the trial of the house.
