Navajo Nation Police say Derick Myron is person of interest in a shooting that occurred in the town of Cameron on Mon, April 29, 2024.

Navajo Nation Police are searching for a person of interest in a shooting that occurred Monday in the town of Cameron on the Navajo Nation.

They say 44-year-old Derick Myron is considered armed and dangerous and urge the public not to approach him.

Police asked residents near the Cameron Chapter House Monday morning to shelter in place for what they called a “police emergency” but the order was later lifted.

Authorities say the shooting was an isolated incident and there is currently no active threat. Myron is 5 feet 10 inches tall and has a slender build with black hair and brown eyes.

He could be driving a black Ford dually pickup truck with a work rack and personalized Arizona Navajo Nation license plate, SLAVK.

Police ask anyone who sees anything suspicious to call the Navajo Police Tuba City District at (928) 283-3111/3112.
