She is not on 12News or Havasu News. After further investigation, detectives identified the deceased as a 29-year-old Bullhead City transient, she said. Transient, and homeless man, are not the same word. Detectives also identified a possible suspect and learned that the victim's vehicle was missing.

The dead man is 29 in all three accounts. None of them prints his name. A charge, and a suspicion, are not a conviction. 12News says the two are facing second-degree homicide charges. Havasu News says suspicion of murder in the lead and suspicion of second-degree murder in the body. Mohave Valley News says they were arrested on the charge of second degree homicide. None of the three prints a plea, a lawyer for either adult, a court date, or a bond amount. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
