Anchorage police say they plan to release body-camera footage of Kristopher Handy’s May 13 shooting Wednesday afternoon.
Anchorage Police Chief Sean Case speaks to the media on Wednesday morning, July 31, 2024, shortly before the first release of body-worn camera footage from a May 13, 2024 incident where multiple officers shot and killed Kristopher Handy.
The review of each person’s actions lists factors including Handy’s “aggressive manner” as he descended stairs from the apartment, profanity he shouted during the encounter, and his decision to ignore instructions to raise his hands and drop his weapon. Case received a letter on Friday from the state Office of Special Prosecutions that determined Sgt. Noel Senoran and officers Jason Stineman, Jacob Ostolaza and Jacob Jones will not face criminal charges in the shooting. Thedetails the investigation, including interviews with officers and witnesses, video footage, an examination of weapons and the medical examiner’s report.
When police arrived, they commanded Handy to come outside. He walked out with a pistol-gripped short-barreled shotgun, raised it in the air above his head briefly, then continued walking toward the officers, the review said.
