Authorities say an airman assigned to Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, has been found dead in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Tech Sgt. Ernest Spurlock was found dead Monday, said Col. Thomas Bergeson, commander of the 3rd Wing at Elmendorf. Fairbanks police discovered him in his vehicle in a parking lot with an apparent gunshot wound. Fairbanks is more than 300 miles north of Elmendorf.

“Sergeant Spurlock was a valuable member of the 3rd Wing,” Bergeson said. “We send our deepest condolences to his family during this time of sorrow.”

Spurlock was assigned to Elmendorf in August.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is working with local authorities to investigate the incident.
