A man recently imprisoned after being convicted of shooting at police in metro Phoenix in 2016 now faces murder charges in rural western Arizona where he is accused of killing three Washington state residents.
La Paz County authorities soon after the triple-homicide identified Kitage Lynch as a suspect, and court records obtained Friday indicate a 2017 grand jury indictment him charged in the killings while he awaited trial in the Phoenix-area case.
Lynch was sentenced last month on April convictions for aggravated assault and other charges accusing him of shooting at police in Glendale just days after the La Paz County homicide victims' bodies were found.
Those killed were 78-year-old Lester Lindsay and 75-year-old Ella Lindsay, a married couple from Wenatchee, Washington, and 81-year-old Alice Boyd of Bingen, Washington.
