Chino Valley Police Department

NEWS RELEASE **UPDATE**
Phoenix Man Shot and Killed in Chino Valley

In regard to the fatal shooting that occurred at a residence in Chino Valley on December 19th, 2021, preliminary investigation revealed that the victim responded to the residence in 1500 block of Golden Drive in order to contact the suspect for some type of property exchange. During their interaction, the suspect produced a handgun and fatally shot the victim in the face/neck. The victim was identified as 47-year-old Gabino Terrazas Saenz, of Phoenix Arizona. The suspect was identified as 62-year-old Christopher Wendt, of Chino Valley Arizona. Wendt was arrested and booked into the Yavapai County Jail, in Camp Verde, on homicide related charges.

No further information will be released in order to maintain the integrity of the case. As with all arrests and/or persons charged with a criminal offense, the suspect is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty through due process of law.

The Chino Valley Police Department is asking anyone with information regarding the shooting to contact us at (928) 771-3260. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can report any information to Silent Witness at (800) 932-3232 or on the web at www.yavapaisw.com

The medical team first on-scene said that it appeared to have been a weapon sale gone sour. But if you know anything let CVPD know.

Firearms, drugs, kittens, who knows. Was it justified or self-defense? Did the suspect defend himself, or overreact to something? All you can do is speculate.

I said it because I talked with the first responders who attempted to save the dead man personally...Insider information on WHY the pistol AND rifle were considered evidence by the PD

According to Chino V. PD shooter is Christopher Wendt.
Seller of the G45 here is instead Pennys Dad, which according to his profile and previous posts is the alias for NRA instructor Jacob Rascon.
So not related unless Wendt hacked pennysdad account here.

I know Penny's dad AKA Jacob Rascon he is a very nice guy and you are right, he is definitely not the shooter..

Call me a racist Karen but my red flags go up when someone still uses the three-name system.
A lot of the violent stuff in Tucson appears to emanate from one three name person doing another three name person wrong.
Simplistic ? Sure. But, reinforced by the news almost daily.

The four name ones are the real worry. They will interchange the combo of the first two and the last two for multiple identities.

Jose Jesus Salazar Sanchez...

Four names. All the same dude. Same initials....

Yep-yer goll durned right! Just check out this list of NON-WHITE and scurrilous THREE namers:

Jesus of Nazareth
Billy Ray Cyrus
Jerry Lee Lewis
Stevie Ray Vaughn
David Lee Roth
Joseph of Arimathea
Jamie Lee Curtis
John Paul Jones
John Quincey Adams
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Shirley Temple Black
Andrew Dice Clay
Arthur Conan Doyle
Kathy Lee Gifford
Tommy Lee Jones
Mary Tyler Moore
Jack The Ripper

And this guy is a total person of color thug cuz’ he’s got FOUR NAMES:
LARRY THE CABLE GUY!

Believing in this nonsense doesn’t make you a “racist Karen” as much as it makes you a “Special Ed” idiot.

But really , doesn't using "Special Ed " as a derogatory insult kind of lower your view from the high ground impact?

3 names, or a person full name, are used for disambiguation...no other reason. If they just identified the person as "Gabino Saenz", there will likely be multiple people with that name. Using "Gabino Terrazas Saenz" makes it more clear who the person is. In this case, the top Google search results for "Gabino Saenz" pulls up a boxer and a realtor in CA. Google "Gabino Terrazas Saenz" and the top result is a link to this story.
