Summary
Three Fairbanks officers and an Alaska State Trooper are cleared of wrongdoing in the June 28 shooting death of Brandon Michael Roberts, after body cam footage showed him pointing a gun at them during a mall pursuit — legally justifying their response. No charges will be filed, as prosecutors found Roberts had an outstanding warrant and a history of carrying a firearm, escalating the situation when he pulled out his weapon despite warnings. The Fairbanks Police Department is now conducting its own internal review, while releasing the graphic footage to provide transparency — a sobering reminder of the daily risks faced by law enforcement.
