The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a vehicle crash and an altercation at a home in Doney Park that appear to be related. At least two but possibly several individuals were involved in the events that occurred in the area of Slayton Ranch Road last night.
It is confirmed that a gun was fired inside the home, but there are no indications that anyone was injured by gunshot. One person was treated and released from Flagstaff Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries sustained during the altercation. From initial investigations, it appears the assailant(s) and victim(s) know each other.
The call originally came into the Sheriff’s as two separate 911 calls that appear related. At approximately 9:30 pm on August 29, the Sheriff’s Office received a report of a truck that crashed on Slayton Ranch Rd. A few minutes later, the Sheriff’s Office received a report of a home invasion and assault at a nearby residence. DPS Ranger out of Flagstaff also responded to assist in locating suspect.
Initial investigations confirm this was not a random act home invasion. We do not have reason to believe there is an ongoing threat to residents in the area, but as always citizens are asked to be aware of their surroundings and report anything suspicious.
Detectives currently are working to determine all of the involved parties and interview them. The event is still under investigation.
