Funds for Autopsy and Unexpected Loss
Donation protected
Hello,
We are updating this fundraiser to try and raise funds to hire a Independent Pathologist.
At this time we have so many unanswered questions that is why we are trying to hire a Independent Pathologist because all we want is the truth and to try answer our questions for our Beloved Son Kawika.
We need to pay for an out-of-state independent pathologist because there are none in Alaska. It includes the pathologist, hotel/food/airfare, and rental of a laboratory.
We as a Family Greatly Appreciate all your Support and Love that has been given to us ❤
Our Hearts go out to you all. Thank you So Much!
Below I have added a piece of the article that Ktuu has shared.
From KTUU, Alaska’s News Source:
On Sunday, January 9, Anchorage police said 21-year-old Kawika Pacarro took his own life on a dead-end street in Bear Valley, after a verbal exchange with officers who had been following his vehicle.
Pacarro’s family has since raised questions about the moments leading up to his death, and say they hope to hire a pathologist to do an independent autopsy of his body.
A police description of the events of Jan. 9 says that just before 2 p.m. officers responded to a domestic disturbance involving Pacarro.
Officers found Pacarro driving a vehicle in South Anchorage, the police release says, and they followed him to a dead-end street at Newell Drive and Clark’s Road in the Bear Valley neighborhood.
Pacarro’s family, both in Alaska and the Lower 48, say they have questions about what exactly happened in Bear Valley, and what occurred the day before with Morgan.
“The Pacarro Family has decided to delay the cremation of Kawika and seeks transparency from APD to receive the honest story in honor of Kawika,”
Shaun Pacarro claims he and his wife received a text message from Kawika at 1:59 p.m. the day of his death. They say they discovered the location of his vehicle through a GPS system and went to Bear Valley, arriving just about an hour later.
There, according to the family’s statement, [they asked to see their son and said their best bet is for then to see him, and] a police officer told them [they could not see their son and] to wait in their vehicle. About 30 minutes later, they were told that their son had taken his own life.
Shaun Pacarro and other family members told Alaska’s News Source that the medical examiner found two gunshot wounds to Kawika’s chest. One family member, went into more detail, saying she was told that both gunshots were in the left side, at a downward angle, and that they missed Kawika’s heart, but went through his lungs and out his back.
Pacarro’s mother, Kalindi, questioned, “how do you explain a suicide victim shooting themselves twice in the upper chest?’”
The Pacarros have requested dash camera video of the incident.
“We are a grieving family, we grieve for Mr. Morgan’s family, for Kawika’s toddler daughter,” Shaun Pacarro wrote in the statement.
