APD: Person found dead in East Anchorage after report of shots fired. Sunday news. Then I followed the links in the articles. 
[Saturday: 18-year-old delivered to hospital with gunshot wound dies]
[Man dead in early-morning shooting in Muldoon on Friday]
[Man held on murder charges after Midtown stabbing]
That is 4 in 4 days that we know of. What is going on? Maybe they better keep that prison open or on standby. Anchorage better not layoff any police, investigators, lawyers or judges. 

Is this drug or gang related? Random coincidence. One common thread is they all happened late at night. Maybe the police force needs to reduce focus of DWI enforcement at that time of night and stay on the streets a little more? 

Good luck Anchorage. Condolences to the families and friends of the victims.
