LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A suspect in two Arizona shootings, one deadly, was airlifted to a Las Vegas hospital after being shot in a gunfight with police.
The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office reports it was called to a residence in Golden Valley, near Kingman, Arizona, on Wednesday, April 30, to investigate the deadly shooting of a woman. Investigators identified the suspect as Jeremy Muse, 36, of Kingman, who was also identified as the suspect in a separate shooting.
According to the sheriff’s office, Muse was spotted in a car about four hours after the shooting, and officers attempted to stop him, which led to a chase and Muse firing at the police, striking one patrol vehicle. Muse got out of the vehicle after crashing, and gunfire was exchanged between Muse and the officers until Muse was struck and taken into custody.
Muse was initially taken to a Kingman hospital and then airlifted to a Las Vegas hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety is investigating the officer-involved shooting. Kingman is about 100 miles southeast of Las Vegas.
