In a tragic incident on the evening of April 20, 2024, an Ada County Sheriff's Deputy was shot during a traffic stop near W. Overland Rd. and S. Raymond St. in Boise. However, in a subsequent turn of events, the suspect was located but failed to cooperate, resulting in a shootout with the Boise Police, leading to the suspect's death.

After the initial shooting incident, the suspect's vehicle was found abandoned near S. Roosevelt and W. Dorian streets at around 9:30 p.m. Boise Police Officers immediately launched an intensive search for the suspect. The search concluded when the individual believed to be the shooting suspect was discovered outside a residence on S. Jackson Street.

With concerns for public safety in mind, Boise Police issued a Code Red notification to residents in the surrounding area, urging them to remain vigilant. The BPD Special Operations Unit promptly responded to the scene to take the suspect into custody safely. However, the suspect was uncooperative during the encounter.

Shortly after midnight, the suspect fired at officers, prompting a BPD officer to defend themselves by shooting back at the suspect, ultimately striking and incapacitating them. Medical aid was administered, and the suspect was quickly transported to a local hospital. Tragically, the suspect was pronounced deceased upon arrival.

The Garden City Police Department is leading the investigation into the officer-involved shooting as part of the Ada County Critical Incident Task Force (CITF). The involved Boise Police Officer, following standard procedure, will be placed on administrative leave while the investigation continues.

Boise Police Chief Ron Winegar expressed condolences to the injured Ada County Deputy and their family, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. He condemned the violence against police officers, stressing that there is no justification for such acts within the community. Chief Winegar expressed his simultaneous anger and sorrow for the events that transpired.

The Ada County Sheriff's Office and Boise Police Department will host a joint press conference to address the incident on Sunday, April 21, 2024, at 10 a.m. This conference aims to provide further details regarding the unfolding events and the actions taken by law enforcement officers.

Meanwhile, the investigation remains ongoing, and the authorities continue to urge residents to remain cautious, keep their doors locked, and report anything suspicious to the authorities. Additional updates will be shared as they become available.
