One man shot and killed his boyfriend in north Kingman early Monday. The Mohave County sheriff’s office has provided further details of the violence that unfolded at the suspect’s home in the 900 block of John Norman Ln.
Spokeswoman Anita Mortensen said the victim, Christopher Young, 30, had moved in with Christopher Kacos, 33, about a month ago. A female neighbor knocked on their door at 2:41 a.m to complain about loud music coming from the home.
“Young became aggressive and started hitting her over the head,” Mortensen said. Kacos told responding deputies that Young ran off into the desert.
Deputies were unable to locate Young before he returned to the residence about 4:47 a.m. They returned when dispatch advised there had been reports of gunfire there.
“Deputies arrived on scene and observed Young deceased in the roadway with three gunshot wounds,” Mortensen said. “Further investigation revealed a total of four rounds had been fired from the shotgun and Young had been struck by the rounds in the head, face and back.”
Kacos reportedly admitted his involvement in the shooting. He was booked into jail on a second degree murder charge.
The woman who was struck by Young declined medical attention.
