Suspect in killing outside Spenard hotel is in custody, police say

The suspect in a fatal shooting last week in Spenard was arrested Monday night, Anchorage police said.

Officers found 32-year-old Orlando Holder in the Mountain View area, according to an Anchorage Police Department update issued Tuesday morning. He was taken into custody and transported to the Anchorage jail.

A detective got information that Holder was in the area and officers found him in a vehicle, police spokesman MJ Thim said. He was arrested without incident.

Holder is suspected of shooting 22-year-old James I. Bradley on Thursday in the parking lot of the Puffin Inn on Spenard Road. Holder was charged last week with second-degree murder, manslaughter and third-degree misconduct involving a weapon.

Police said last week the shooting occurred after a group of people who knew each other met in the parking lot and got into a fight about an agreement they had.

Holder was considered armed and dangerous, police said last week when they asked for the public's help locating him.
