Stephen J. Strain

How they died

Vehic/Purs

According to police, Anchorage Police received a call in reference to a stolen other. The other, a 1-ton Chevy pickup truck, made its way to the area of Northern Lights and Lovejoy when officers attempted to make contact. The suspect rammed four non-police cars and one police car in an effort to elude police. Officers fired shots at the other attempting to stop the driver. The other turned northbound onto Lake Otis Parkway at a high rate of speed. On approach to the intersection of Lake Otis and East 20th, the pickup ran the red light and t-boned a sedan that was in its path, killing the driver, Stephen Strain. Kris Felber ran on foot into the City View neighborhood. He was taken into custody about a half-hour later.
