An intense manhunt is underway in Arizona where local authorities are seeking the public's help in tracking down an "armed and dangerous" suspect implicated in the fatal shooting of a Kingman woman. According to FOX 10 Phoenix, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office has identified the victim as 30-year-old Marie Ann Noelani Garcia found dead near Northern Avenue and Bank Street on Sunday morning.

Reports indicate Garcia suffered a gunshot wound, with her body being discovered just before 11:30 a.m. Nicholas Ray Volk, 32, was quickly named as the prime suspect in the case. After allegedly committing the murder, Volk is said to have fled in a tan Jeep – a vehicle that authorities have since recovered. The current whereabouts of Volk, however, remains a mystery, complicating what has already spiraled into a desperate race against time.

The Mohave County Sheriff's Office has broadcast an alert across their channels emphasizing the public to be cautious around Volk, with a clear warning that he should be considered "armed and dangerous." They are calling on anyone with information about Volk's location to step forward and contact the sheriff's office directly or call the provided toll-free number.

As law enforcement sifts through leads, and the weight of tragedy bears down on the Kingman community, the broader implications of Garcia's untimely death ripple far and wide. As stated by officials, "Volk should be considered armed and dangerous," a sentiment that underscores the urgency of his apprehension to ensure the safety of the public and deliver a measure of closure to those mourning Garcia.
