Juneau man maintains innocence in mobile home killing

A Juneau man has pleaded not guilty to fatally shooting a man in a Mendenhall Valley mobile home park.

The Juneau Empire reports that 32-year-old Christopher Strawn entered not guilty pleas Tuesday to first- and second-degree murder in last month’s death of 30-year-old Brandon Cook.

Strawn has been jailed on $1 million cash bail since his Oct. 21 arrest.

Cook had been helping a friend paint the kitchen in her new trailer when prosecutors say Strawn shot and killed him “execution style” in the back of the head.

Juneau police have not yet presented a possible motive for the shooting, and have yet to find the shotgun used in the shooting.

Strawn’s next court date has been scheduled for Nov. 30.
