Rapper Marcus Mewborn Faces Child Abuse, Shooting Charges

0:00A 30-year-old Anchorage rapper in DJ, named Marcus Muborn, is facing serious child sex abuse charges from incidents between August 20, 22 and March 2023. He's indicted on two counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, plus exploitation and child porn possession. His arraignment got pushed back because he's still recovering in the hospital from gunshot wounds in an officer involved shooting earlier this month. That shooting happened April 15 in Midtown Anchorage during a stolen vehicle chase. Police tried the box in the car near Spanard Road, but Muborn allegedly drove off, turned around, and opened fire on four officers. One bullet hit their K-9 dog, Kiska, costing her a tow, while Muborn took multiple hits that cops thought might be fatal at first. The whole thing has folks in Anchorage, on edge, especially since Muborn worked around underage girls as a musician. Detectives from the crimes against children unit worry there could be more victims out there and are urging anyone affected to reach out to detective, Daniel Koch.

1:01Now he's got a separate indictment for that shootout, three counts of first-degree attempted murder, five-third-degree assaults, and weapons, misconduct. His sex abuse arraignment is set for Friday, May 1, with the shooting won possibly Tuesday. Police are piecing it all together from a long investigation that started last year, keeping a close eye as Muborn heals up. That's the story for today, Anchorage News Today, driven by AI.
