According to the news release, Boise police officers responded to a report of a stabbing in the 5000 block of N. Mitchell Street around 3:25 p.m. Friday. Arriving officers located a victim who was taken to a local hospital but died a short time later from multiple injuries. The officers quickly located the suspect on site and he was taken into custody.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect and victim knew each other and lived in a home with other adults. There is evidence that two other adults in the home attempted to intervene and were threatened by the suspect while he was holding a gun. At this point, the attack on the victim appears to be unprovoked. Boise Police officers recovered the weapon at the scene and an investigation by the Boise Police Violent Crimes Unit is ongoing.
