Daemon A. Petetan, a 19-year-old male, unexpectedly passed away on July 10, 2021, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Born in Lancaster, California, on April 3, 2002, to Donnell Petetan and Nicole Polcyn, Daemon moved to Lake Havasu City with his mother in 2007 and graduated from high school there.
On that Saturday, at approximately 1:20 a.m., the Lake Havasu City Police Department received a 9-1-1 call about a shooting in the 2300 block of Alpine Lane.
Upon arrival, officers discovered Daemon deceased in the backyard of a residence from an apparent gunshot wound to the chest.
The investigation led by the Lake Havasu City Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit identified 18-year-old Carter Beckwith, also a resident of Lake Havasu City, as the alleged suspect. A few hours later, at around 5:45 a.m., Beckwith was located and taken into custody by police in Parker, Arizona. He was found sleeping in his vehicle and was subsequently charged with first-degree murder.
Daemon was remembered for his love of working on cars, particularly his favorite, the 1995 Fox Body Mustang. He also enjoyed playing basketball, playing on his Xbox, and listening to music. An avid collector of Jordans, he also enjoyed shopping and eating steak. He is survived by his parents, brothers, and sisters.
