A man wanted for a double homicide out of Tucson was killed in an officer-involved shooting on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, during the service of an arrest warrant in Yuma, the Yuma County Sheriff announced on Thursday.

The incident occurred around 12:08 p.m. on Wednesday in the 10200 block of E. 37th Street.

The United States Marshals Service, along with U.S. Border Patrol, Yuma Police Department, and Yuma County Sheriff’s Office Deputies, attempted to take the suspect into custody when a shooting occurred.

Authorities say two unrelated individuals exited the residence during the operation, while the suspect, 48-year-old David McKinney of Tucson, was observed near the front door before retreating inside the home.

According to law enforcement, McKinney fired multiple rounds at officers, who returned fire, striking him.
