Death investigation ongoing in Lake Havasu City

On August 29, at approximately 10:20 p.m., Lake Havasu City Police Department Officers were dispatched to a residence in the 2900 block of Green Acres Drive in reference to a welfare check for a female who went to the residence to recover property and had not returned home.  Upon initial arrival, officers were not able to make contact with the female or the occupant of the residence. After further investigation, officers observed two individuals lying motionless on the floor inside the residence.  

Officers were able to gain entry into the residence, where they found a deceased female lying on the kitchen floor with multiple gun-shot wounds. Lying next to the female was a deceased male, who appeared to have suffered a single gun-shot wound.   

Detectives with the Lake Havasu City Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit are currently investigating this incident, and the names of the female and male are being withheld at this time, as family notifications are still on-going.

Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
