A fatal shooting in Snowflake, Arizona, left 56-year-old Darrell Richey dead after an altercation on February 29, 2016. Richey went to the home of 40-year-old Gabriel Barnes at 9801 Juniper Berry Trail, and a gunfight erupted between the two men. Richey suffered gunshot wounds to his torso and died at the scene; Barnes fled afterward.

Detectives located and detained Barnes the next day in Snowflake, initially taking him into custody for being a felon in possession of a firearm. The White Mountain Regional Homicide Taskforce took over the investigation and was to present findings to the Navajo County Attorney’s Office to consider any further charges related to Richey’s death.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or saw either man at the Juniper Berry Trail residence around February 29, 2016, please come forward with information.
