A dispute between two men sharing a remote property north of White Hills, Arizona, ended in a fatal shooting on May 19, 2025. Authorities say 52-year-old Christopher Gene Jetton and 57-year-old Richard Stephen Hansen had lived on the same property for about five years. The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office responded at 2:59 PM and found Jetton inside a trailer with a gunshot wound to the chest; medical personnel attempted aid but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators report the men had been arguing about an unidentified person Jetton believed was trying to steal from them. The argument allegedly escalated after Jetton punched Hansen; Hansen then went into his trailer, retrieved a handgun, and shot Jetton. Hansen was taken into custody without incident and booked on a charge of 2nd Degree Murder. The homicide investigation remains ongoing.

Does anyone who knew Jetton or Hansen or who was in that area on May 19 have information that could help investigators?
