Lawrence, 44, was arrested on a first-degree murder charge and was taken to Lemon Creek Correctional Center where he is being held without bail, according to JPD.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p>The arrest comes after police spent about two hours serving a warrant at a residence in on Riverwood Drive earlier that day.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p>At about 10:17 p.m. on Thursday, police received a call reporting a person had been shot on Cinema Drive, according to a JPD information release. Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered a dead male with a gunshot wound. The location of the wound and name of the victim has not been shared publicly, but next of kin have been notified.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p>At 6:45 a.m. JPD shared via a social media post that police were at the residence on Riverwood Drive conducting a search warrant. Campbell subsequently stated officers were attempting to &ldquo;peacefully resolve&rdquo; the situation with Lawrence who was eventually detained.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p>At about 8:45 a.m. a robot was sent in to the residence to communicate with Lawrence and pepper spray projectiles were used by officers. Lawrence was detained shortly afterward.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p>According to JPD spokesperson Eran Kalwara, &ldquo;JPD has no outstanding concern for public safety related to this event.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p>According to the state&rsquo;s court system, Lawrence has a history of multiple assault and criminal mischief convictions. An initial court appearance on the first-degree murder charge has yet to be scheduled.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p><em>&#8226; Contact reporter Clarise Larson at clarise.larson@juneauempire.com or (651)-528-1807.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andre P.
