Anchorage, AK - The state cleared an Anchorage police officer of any wrongdoing in a shooting that left a 33-year-old man dead on Tudor Road earlier this year.

The Office of Special Prosecutions determined in its review that Officer Isaac Kimball was “legally justified” in using deadly force against the man, Francis Rochon, who was killed on Feb. 4 in the middle of the roadway.

Kimball was one of multiple officers who responded to numerous reports that day of Rochon walking in traffic and pointing a gun at passing vehicles, including one instance of him pointing the handgun at a school bus.

The OSP said after Kimball stopped his patrol car and got out to give instructions, Rochon refused to comply and walked toward Kimball “gripping a handgun” that could be seen in his pocket.

Days after the shooting, APD Chief Sean Case said that officer body cam video shows that Rochon never fired a shot at officers, but had his hand on the gun and took it out of his pocket.
