GOLDEN VALLEY – Two arrests are reported in an Aug. 2 homicide in Golden Valley. The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) had been looking for murder suspect Kenneth Carter, 36, and his father Kenneth Carter Sr., 58, both of Golden Valley, when alerted both men were at a Highway 68 business and wanted to turn themselves in, nearly 15 hours after the deadly violence was reported.
