Anchorage police are looking for a "person of interest" in one of the rash of homicides reported this year across the city.

Police released a sketch today of a person who may have information about the killing of 21-year-old Treyveonkindell Thompson.Thompson was shot multiple times July 29 in the area of Duben Avenue and Bolin Street. A witness saw the man in the sketch in the area.

Asked if the person is believed to be linked in any other killings, Anchorage police declined to say. Police said in an interview Sunday that they would discuss only the Thompson investigation.

"I'm not here today to speculate about other cases," Sgt. Slawomir Markiewicz said. "I know we have certain unsolved cases and we are working in different degrees in solving them. Tonight we are specifically targeting this case."

The FBI is assisting in the investigation and offering a $10,000 cash reward for "any information that leads to the conviction of the person who killed Treyveonkindell."

Thompson is one of 25 people killed this year in Anchorage, with Alaska’s largest city on pace to see its deadliest year since 1995.

Here is the status of those investigations:

-- Six cases involving nine victims -- including a trio of double homicides in public areas -- remain unsolved.

-- Charges have been filed or arrests made in 11 other homicide cases.

-- Police believe they have identified a suspect in three additional cases and are awaiting review by prosecutors.

-- In another case, the suspect died so no charges will be filed.
