Family and friends of shooting victim Josiah Goecker packed an Anchorage courtroom on Friday as the suspect in his killing, Jesse Lee Jones, made his first appearance in court.
Jones is facing charges of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, and third-degree assault.
Goecker was attempting to assist Jones when he produced a weapon and tried to shoot the manager. According to witnesses, the gun did not go off the first time and Jones removed the magazine before shooting Goecker five times. Police say they found Goecker deceased at the scene with gunshot wounds in his shoulder, neck, leg, chest and hand.
“The defendant fled the scene, taking the murder weapon with him and was apprehended three days later. When he was arrested, he had a different gun in his possession. He claimed to be under the influence of controlled substances,” Atkinson said. “The gun he used to murder Mr. Goecker has not been found.”
