An Anchorage jury convicted a 37-year-old man Tuesday of several charges, including second-degree murder, in the fatal stabbing of a stranger during a confrontation over a lost dog in 2018.
Surveillance cameras from nearby businesses captured video and some audio from the interaction between defendantand 61-year-old Dwayne English leading up to the stabbing, according to a sworn affidavit filed by Anchorage Police Department detective Ross Henikman.
English told Drost that “no one cares about your dog” and called him names, which sparked an argument between the two men, the affidavit said. The confrontation spilled into the street, where English appeared to punch Drost, the affidavit said. Video footage showed Drost making thrusting motions with his hand toward English, according to the affidavit.
English walked toward the Alaska Mental Health Consumer Web and Anchorage Safety Patrol was dispatched to the area because it was reported that an intoxicated man was outside, the affidavit said. When responders arrived, English told them he’d been stabbed. Tests did not show he had consumed alcohol, the affidavit said.Police were called to a burglary the next day and found Drost hiding inside a home, the affidavit said.
