ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The state will not be filing criminal charges against an Anchorage Police Department sergeant and two officers involved in the fatal Fairview shooting of a 21-year-old man on June 3.Frey, Flechsing, and Kimball were each equipped with fully functioning APD-issued body cameras, as was Officer Timothy Dorsey, who later provided the K9 that assisted.
One of the men was reported to be screaming while displaying a gun, and one caller reported having witnessed the man fire the gun. That man was later identified as May. The second man was later identified as K.O., according to the report. The two men were then apprehended by police at the senior center at East 19th Avenue and Orca Place. While K.O. followed officer commands to raise his hands and sit on the ground, May ran through the senior center’s north parking lot.
May refused commands from officers to get on the ground, according to the report, and instead ran east through the parking lot. Dorsey released the K9 who caught up to May and pulled him to the ground. Frey, Kimball, and Flechsing moved towards May with rifles.
