Suspect identified in Navajo officer's shooting death

PREWITT, N.M. (AP) — Authorities say the man suspected of gunning down a tribal police officer on the nation's largest American Indian reservation was found hiding on a ridge not far from his rural home in western New Mexico. The McKinley County Sheriff's Office in a report obtained by the Navajo Times (http://bit.ly/2mpVATd ) identified the suspect as Kirby Cleveland. He's in federal custody, but the FBI has remained silent about the suspect and the ongoing investigation. The sheriff's office was among the law enforcement agencies that responded early Sunday when 27-year-old Navajo Nation Officer Houston James Largo was shot on a county road after stopping a vehicle north of Prewitt. Deputies reported that Largo was found lying about 50 yards from the vehicle with his duty pistol by his feet. He had been shot twice.
