A Fairbanks resident is accused of shooting and killing another man Friday afternoon in a confrontation that authorities say appears to have stemmed from his anger over a dumpster fire earlier that day.
Matthew Lee Myers, 42, was arrested Friday and charged with first-degree murder, the Fairbanks Police Department said in a statement Saturday.
Officers arriving at the scene found 26-year-old Rolando Pressley lying in the middle of the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds, according to police. After medics and law enforcement -- including Fairbanks police and state court officers who responded from the nearby courthouse -- tried to save Pressley’s life, he was taken to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
Myers said to detectives that he had left his home with a firearm planning on “giving Pressley a piece of his mind,” police said in the statement.
