He is still at large, she said. Police ask anyone who has seen him to contact them.

Bindon is also known as John Boii, a hip-hop/rap artist recently recording with the local label FrostBite Records. He's featured on a new release album called "Alaska's Most Wanted," according to the label's Web site.

The shooting incident happened in a rental duplex just after 2 p.m. on the 2700 block of Lee Street, a dead-end road east of Boniface Parkway, near Northern Lights Boulevard.

Police said several people were in the house at the time. There was an argument, a scuffle and then Bindon pulled a .22-caliber handgun and shot Butler once in the chest, Shell said.

Bindon ran with two young women, police said. The women later turned themselves in.

Police spent several hours searching for him with dogs. There is a $100,000 warrant for his arrest.
