A 19-year-old is now in custody on murder charges following a deadly shooting in Anchorage.

Police say Jacob Berkey was arrested Wednesday in connection with the death of 26-year-old Kawena Naleieha.

It was Sunday morning when officers responded to North Post Road and found Naleieha with life-threatening injuries from a gunshot wound. She was taken to the hospital but later died.

Detectives say they have identified and interviewed everyone involved, and at the conclusion of those interviews, Berkey was taken into custody. He is now charged with murder in the second degree.

Investigators are still working to determine the circumstances of the shooting, including a possible motive.
