On October 17, 2021, 56-year-old Michael Schwestak of Benson, a White/Caucasian man, was shot and killed at a home in Mescal, Arizona. Earlier that day he reportedly went to the residence of a female relative and made threats against her family, telling the relative he intended to confront her husband. Schwestak returned later the same day, and during that second visit the relative’s husband allegedly shot him. Emergency responders pronounced Schwestak dead at the scene.

The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office investigated and identified the man who fired the shot, but no arrest was announced immediately; the case was sent to the Cochise County Attorney’s Office for review to determine whether charges would be filed. Michael was the son of Otmar Schwestak, who had been murdered in August 2020.

Did anyone in the area know Michael or have information about his visits to that home on October 17, 2021?
