No criminal charges will be filed against three Kenai Peninsula law enforcement officers who shot and killed a Kasilof man who fired on them during a standoff in January. A state legal review released this week found the officers’ actions legally justified. Mason Toloff, 32, was killed during the confrontation with Alaska State Troopers and Homer Police Department officers in Kasilof on Jan. 23.

An Anchorage Superior Court judge on Friday declared a mistrial in the case of an Unalaska man charged in the deaths of two teenage girls who died when the truck he was driving plunged off a cliff — a decision that continues a state of limbo for a high-profile investigation and case that had already dragged on for nearly six years. Dustin Ruckman faced two counts of criminally negligent homicide in the 2019 deaths of Karly McDonald, 16, and Kiara Renteria Haist, 18.

Anchorage police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday were conducting an investigation in an Eagle River neighborhood where a 40-year-old man was last seen in early March. Numerous patrol cars, as well as the department’s major crime scene van, were parked in the 16700 block of Mercy Drive. The address is near the Eleonora Street residence where Tony Mac Kronos was last seen on March 6, police said at the time.

Last year, 34 people were killed in what Anchorage police consider homicides. Police never released the names of half the victims. That’s because a quietly adopted Anchorage Police Department policy keeps the identities of certain homicide victims secret. Since 2020, APD’s public communications arm has withheld the names of people killed in what are defined as domestic violence crimes, as well as the names of juvenile homicide victims.
