Yuma standoff ends with fatal police shooting of Tucson homicide suspect

David Lee McKinney, a 48-year-old suspect wanted for a double homicide in Tucson, was shot and killed by law enforcement during an attempted arrest in Yuma, Arizona, on January 22, 2025. The U.S. Marshals Service, assisted by several local agencies, attempted to serve an arrest warrant when McKinney retreated inside a residence and later emerged armed with a rifle, firing at officers who returned fire, resulting in his death. McKinney was wanted for the fatal shootings of David Johnson and Clinton Dale, for which an arrest warrant had been issued just a day prior. Fortunately, no law enforcement officers or civilians were injured during the incident. The Yuma Regional Critical Incident Response Team is conducting an investigation into the shooting, while Tucson Police continue their investigation into the double homicide. Authorities are urging anyone with information related to the case to come forward.
