On the night of November 20, 2025, deputies from the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office responded about 9:20 p.m. to a reported shooting near Bruin Way and Branding Iron Loop in Pinetop, Arizona. They found 59-year-old Kerri Ann Abatti of Pinetop mortally wounded by a gunshot inside a residence; authorities immediately treated the death as a homicide. Public updates identified her and confirmed she died from a gunshot wound inside the home.

Abatti had ties to both Arizona and California’s Imperial Valley and was described in regional reporting as the wife of longtime Imperial Valley farmer and businessman Mike Abatti. Deputies secured the neighborhood, detectives canvassed nearby houses and interviewed neighbors, and investigators set up a tip line seeking information about the hours before the shooting.

As of late November 2025, no arrests, suspects, or motives have been publicly announced and the investigation remains active. Did anyone in the area hear or see anything unusual that night?
