Fairbanks, AK – Alaska State Troopers are continuing a statewide search today for 18-year-old Darius Morgan, who is allegedly involved in the shooting death of a 15-year-old boy during a party in the Fairbanks area on October 25.
According to Alaska State Troopers, Morgan was reportedly brandishing a firearm at the party despite being legally prohibited from possessing one as a convicted felon. Investigators say the teen allegedly fired the weapon, killing the victim, and then fled the area. Troopers describe him as armed and dangerous and warn the public not to approach him.
Morgan was last seen in the Fairbanks region in late October, though authorities say he may also be in the Anchorage area. Troopers have released multiple photos of Morgan—one formal booking-style image and two casual images—to help the public identify him. Anyone with information on Morgan’s whereabouts is urged to contact Alaska State Troopers at (907) 451-5100 or submit anonymous information via the AKTips smartphone app or online at dps.alaska.gov/tips.
According to court records, a Fairbanks court issued a $100,000 arrest warrant for Morgan on October 25 for Misconduct Involving a Weapon. On November 14, following a grand jury indictment, a $1,000,000 arrest warrant was issued on charges of Murder in the First Degree and Murder in the Second Degree. Troopers say the investigation remains active and that additional updates will be released as new information becomes available.
Residents in the Fairbanks North Star Borough and surrounding communities are encouraged to remain alert, report suspicious activity, and share information that may assist in the ongoing search.
