On Tuesday morning (July 30, 2024) just after 4:00am, Klamath County Sheriff’s Office deputies were alerted to a report that a 47-year-old Chiloquin man was intentionally shot by another man in a remote area near Bray Mill and Kirk Road (NE of Chiloquin, Oregon) while they were cutting firewood. The suspect was last seen by the victim and a witness running into the woods and firing a handgun as they drove away to seek medical help. The victim was transported to the hospital and treated for a single gunshot wound (non-life threatening). Deputies, assisted by members of the Klamath County Major Crime Team, attempted to locate the suspect throughout the day without success. The suspect was identified as being Travis Crosby (age 46).
On Wednesday morning, (July 31, 2024) deputies located the suspect at his residence in the 36000 block of Agency Lake Road. After taunting the deputies and climbing onto the roof, Travis Crosby eventually climbed down off of the roof and was taken into custody without further incident.
A search warrant was served on the residence and the firearm suspected of being used in the crime was located in a hidden area of the home.
