A man suspected of fatally shooting one person and injuring two others during a domestic violence incident on the Navajo Nation earlier this week was arrested Thursday, authorities said.
Navajo Police said Derrick Myron, 44, was taken into federal custody without incident at a residence in the northern community of Tuba City, Arizona, around 1 a.m. Thursday.
Myron is charged with multiple charges, including second-degree murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and use of a firearm in a crime of violence, according to a criminal complaint filed in his first federal court appearance in Flagstaff.
