Sheriff’s officials in Navajo County say a California man has been arrested in connection with the death of his wife back in November.

The suspect was identified as 63-year-old Michael Abatti of El Centro, a community located in California’s Imperial County.

"Detectives worked with multiple police agencies in the state of Arizona and in the state of California to develop information and evidence leading to probable cause to believe that Michael Abatti traveled from the state of California on November 20, 2025 to Pinetop, Arizona, where he is believed to have shot and killed Kerri Ann Abatti, and then immediately returned to California."

The news conference was held at 10am MST on December 29.
