KOTZEBUE — A 40-year-old northwest Alaska man was convicted Monday of first-degree murder at a trial in Kotzebue.
Alaska State Troopers said Christopher Cleveland of Selawik also was convicted of attempted murder, felony assault, burglary, weapons misconduct, furnishing alcohol to a minor and illegally selling alcohol.
Selawik is a village of nearly 900 about 90 miles east of Kotzebue.
Troopers early on July 6, 2015, took a call of a man in the village firing a gun.
A village police officer reported the shooter had barricaded himself in a home and that a man outside had been shot and killed.
Cleveland surrendered 10 hours later.
He was convicted of killing 23-year-old Wade Cleveland and firing at a village police officer and others during the standoff.
Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 11.
