Richard Venola was arrested in his Arizona home and charged with second degree murder.

Mohave County Sheriff’s deputies responding to a neighbor’s call about a shooting found the victim, 39-year-old James O’Neill, outside the house. O’Neill had been shot in the chest, according to police.

Officials said a large caliber rifle was among the evidence collected at the scene.

A police report did not reference a motive for the shooting.

Venola was named the 12th editor of “Guns and Ammo” in 2008, according to an article on the publication’s website.
