Coconino County Sheriff’s detectives continue to investigate the strong possibility that Christian Tejada was involved in a verbal argument with another member of the group regarding food that led to the shooting.
During the initial response to this homicide, deputies found Edgar and Trina Atzin and the second female victim lying in close proximity to the camp trailer. Immediately following the shooting a witness found Christian Tejada on the ground some distance from the trailer with a single gunshot wound under his chin and a handgun positioned in close proximity to one of his hands.
Detectives are investigating the possibility that alcohol consumption was a factor in this shooting. Coconino County Sheriff's detectives and death investigators of the Coconino Medical Examiner's Office are continuing the investigation.
