A manhunt has ended on the Kenai Peninsula after Alaska State Troopers on Tuesday detained a person of interest in a fatal shooting.
Troopers found and detained 55-year-old Danny Lowry after he escaped from officers in Seward last week.
Lowry had been held in connection to a shooting that killed 51-year-old Billie Cubley.
Preliminary findings from the Alaska Bureau of Investigation show Lowry was trying to take a gun away from Cubley after she threatened to shoot herself, according to a trooper dispatch.
Troopers say several AST SWAT teams and Kenai Peninsula law enforcement joined in the initial search, but were called off shortly afterwards.
Officers referred charges for fourth-degree escape to the state district attorney’s office.
