Man found dead near Kingman; pickup missing
A homicide investigation is underway in the tiny northwest Arizona community of Yucca, west of Kingman.
Mohave County deputies responded at 8:43 a.m. Monday after a man performing a welfare check on his friend found him dead in his home in the 11200 block of South Bennie Road, according to sheriff’s spokeswoman Trish Carter.
Carter said the man, Charles John McCarthy, 70, was found slumped over his kitchen table covered in blood.
