The man accused of fatally shooting 32-year-old Derek Welsh in a Wasilla apartment complex parking lot wore an ankle monitor that authorities say connected him to the crime.
Nathan William Hooks, 25, is accused of firing a shotgun at least five times into Welsh’s car early the morning of April 4, according to a complaint filed with first- and second-degree murder charges.
Hooks drove by Welsh’s parked vehicle and fired numerous shotgun blasts into the gray 2017 Ford Focus as Welsh sat in the driver’s seat, the affidavit states. The officer enacted “life saving measures” but Welsh was pronounced dead once medics arrived, the affidavit states.
