A 37-year-old Anchorage man convicted on federal homicide charges this year will undergo a new trial after a judge ruled that evidence presented against him actually pointed toward his innocence.orderThe judge’s order accused investigators of failing to fully examine evidence that came late in the case indicating someone else may have fatally shot 23-year-old Navarro Andrews in 2019.
He was the only defendant charged in connection with killing Andrews. The other men involved in the case have since entered guilty pleas to varying charges related to drug trafficking.on charges of murder in furtherance of a continuing criminal enterprise, using a firearm to commit murder in a drug trafficking crime, drug conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. The jurors spent only five hours deliberating, Burgess wrote.
Shanholtzer obtained some of the drugs from a Mexican cartel, according to a motion filed by federal public defenders. He moved from Anchorage to Arizona and then Florida and had temporarily placed Moi in charge of the enterprise, the indictment said.A package of heroin was sent to Andrews’ home in April 2019, but when Moi went to pick up the package it was not in the mailbox, according to a factual summary of the case included in the judge’s order.
Investigators found out late in their investigation that Ebon “Guzzo” Moore may have been involved in the murder, Burgess wrote, and they took “only minimal steps” to investigate his role after. Neither Dwiggins or Moore have been charged in the case, but Burgess described them as “known co-conspirators” of the drug enterprise.
