KINGMAN – A deadly gunfire incident in the Hualapai Mountains southeast of Kingman is under investigation by the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office. Agency spokeswoman Anita Mortensen said the incident was reported October 13 as an accidental shooting at a campground off of Flagg Mine road.
“Upon arrival, deputies observed two male subjects inside a tent actively performing CPR on the victim,” Mortensen said. She said neither the deputies nor medical personnel were successful in resuscitating the victim.
Donald Anthony Stickrath, 19, was declared deceased at the scene and his body was transported to the Mohave County Medical Examiner.
“Detectives responded to the scene and assumed the investigation, which revealed that the victim was manipulating his handgun when it discharged and struck him,” Mortensen said. Investigation continues.
