Bullhead City Police Department – June 23, 2026

The Bullhead City Police Department continues its investigation into the June 15, 2026 officer-involved shooting incident involving Mohave County Sheriff’s Deputies east of Kingman, Arizona.

On Monday, June 15 at about 9:25 a.m., Mohave County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the 17000 block of Blue Willow Lane in the unincorporated area of Mohave County east of Kingman to check on the welfare of 48-year-old Sandra Keeme. While deputies were responding, they were notified that Sandra was in possession of a firearm and was threatening herself with it. Upon arrival, deputies found Sandra being physically restrained; deputies intervened and separated the parties.

During the ensuing investigation, Sandra stood up, armed with a pair of scissors, and began walking out of the residence. She ignored deputies’ commands to stop and drop the scissors. Deputies then deployed Taser devices, though both deployments were ineffective. Sandra managed to enter her nearby vehicle and retrieve a firearm. When she turned towards deputies, an officer-involved shooting occurred. Deputies initiated lifesaving measures until paramedics arrived. Sandra was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The deputies who discharged their duty weapons have been identified as Deputy Dustin Fields, who has served the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office for 8 years, and Deputy Angel Gomez, who has served for 4 months. In accordance with standard protocol regarding officer-involved shooting incidents, both deputies have been placed on paid administrative leave and currently remain on leave.
