On December 21, 2017, at approximately 1:01 p.m. the Gila County Sheriff’s Office received a call from an individual who was reporting a domestic violence situation between himself and his grandson.

Deputies along and the Gila County Drug, Gang, and Violent Crimes Task Force consisting of Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office and Globe Police Department responded to the residence. Deputies made entry and found one male subject in a bedroom with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Tri-City Fire Department and Ambulance responded to the scene.
