YCSO is currently assisting DPS and other local agencies in the search for a homicide suspect from an incident in the Prescott area. Spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says officers are searching in a remote area north/east of Rimrock in the Montezuma Well area. The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 6 feet tall, wearing a black or blue shirt, black shorts and possibly black gloves. D’Evelyn says he is considered armed and dangerous. Residents in this area are advised to not approach the suspect, to not pick up hitch hikers and to call 911 if they see the suspect. D’Evelyn asks that residents to stay out of the area. Multiple units from local law enforcement agencies are patrolling the area with lights and sirens. A Code Red, emergency notification, has been issued for the general search area. As more information becomes available we will pass it along.
