A Palmer man was convicted this week on numerous charges, including murder and manslaughter, for a road-rage encounter that ended in a fatal shooting on Willow-Fishhook Road.
Gavin Christiansen, now 41, chased 35-year-old Devin Moorhouse in his vehicle and fired numerous shots before ultimately killing him while on the phone with 911 dispatchers on Oct. 11, 2020, according to charges filed in the case.
Moorhouse and a juvenile passenger “were doing doughnuts” around Christiansen’s vehicle in a gravel pit when they struck the vehicle, according to a sworn affidavit written by Alaska State Trooper Todd Moehring. The collision sparked an argument and Moorhouse drove away from the gravel pit, the affidavit said.
Christiansen drove up to Moorhouse’s vehicle and shot him through a closed window, according to the affidavit. The passenger was not injured.
