Anchorage police said a shooting victim died Monday evening several hours after a domestic dispute at an apartment building located at 3032 W. 42nd Ave.
34-year-old James Marquez was identified by the Anchorage Police Department as the shooting suspect and he was arrested on charges of 1st and 2nd degree murder.
APD received a call shortly around 5:44 p.m. Monday about a shooting at an upstairs apartment at the location and found a woman shot in the head. She was taken to the hospital in grave condition.
Police described Marquez as a husband or boyfriend and he allegedly shot his partner, called police, and said he needed to go to jail.
“Perhaps in a situation like that, it’s possible for a person to recognize the seriousness of what they’ve done and recognize they’re responsible for severe injury in another person,” Lt. Dave Parker, APD spokesperson, said. “I can imagine that’s enough to shock a person into doing the right thing like calling the police.”
Marquez was arraigned in Anchorage court on Tuesday afternoon.
Editor's Note: Corrected spelling of suspect's name. APD originally released name as "Marques" instead of "Marquez." KTUU’s Jason Lamb and Chris Klint contributed to this report.

I wonder how many other women are thinking "that could have been me. If you're still in it, please get out.
First Lt. Dave Parker is the APD Public Information Officer he is NOT an APD spokesperson.
Second this quote from the story-
“Perhaps in a situation like that, it’s possible for a person to recognize the seriousness of what they’ve done and recognize they’re responsible for severe injury in another person,” Lt. Dave Parker, APD spokesperson, said. “I can imagine that’s enough to shock a person into doing the right thing like calling the police.”
Is an example NOT of a APD Public Information Officer but of a person who insists on preaching when a microphone is placed in front of him. No public information given just his personal opinion.
Come on Chief Mew you have made it policy to not have your officers do their job, how about starting with your Public Information Officer. Please!
