Deputies tried for close to an hour to revive him, but Tristan was eventually pronounced dead on the scene, officials said.
Authorities said that conflicting information from several witnesses made the sequence of events around the shooting unclear. YCSO deputies eventually took the victim's father, Donald Roque, into custody.
The investigation is still underway at this time, and the sheriff's office says they haven't finalized the charges.
Authorities ask that anyone with information on the shooting contact Yavapai Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232.
