KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) — A Kingman man has been shot to death during an altercation that began over a locked gate.
Mohave County sheriff’s spokeswoman Sandy Edwards says 37-year-old Michael Peter Sessoyeff was shot once in the chest on Monday afternoon at a Kingman home and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Edwards says 53-year-old Robert Keith Alber lived at the house and Sessoyeff was staying in a trailer on the property. Sessoyeff confronted Alber about a locked gate on the property and the dispute turned physical.
Alber told deputies he shot Sessoyeff in self-defense and then called 911 for help. He was not arrested.
Detectives confiscated a 9 mm Glock pistol as evidence. Edwards says the case will be reviewed by county prosecutors.
