How they died

Deadly force

Officer Alex Wells, a 15-year veteran of the Fairbanks Police Department, shot and killed 21-year-old Matthew Dillingham when he pulled a gun on her and fired once. Wells had stopped a suspected stolen other, in which Dillingham was a passenger. The two occupants attempted to flee the scene. When Dillingham attempted to run around the other, he fell and aimed a .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol at the officer.
