Here’s some updated information from BPD on an incident we’ve been following overnight on Pomona Court up on the Boise Bench:
“On December 25, 2023, around 7:30 pm Boise Police responded to the 8000 block of W. Pomona Ct. for a report of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located one adult male victim and began providing emergency medical care and securing the scene.
Ada County Paramedics rushed the victim to a local hospital but he passed away later that night. Detectives from the Boise Police Violent Crime Unit and BPD’s Crime Lab responded to the scene. A preliminary investigation shows that several people were involved in a domestic dispute inside the house before the shooting.
Detectives are in contact with all involved parties and there is no threat to the public. BPD is working closely with the Ada County Prosecutors Office and the investigation is ongoing. More information will be released as it is confirmed and available for release.
The Ada County Coroner will identify the deceased victim pending notification of next of kin.”

What we know from Scanner Traffic:
At about 7:32 PM on Christmas day, Boise EMS and Police were called for service to an address on Pomona Court. Pomona Court is a small street just south of the intersection of Milwaukee and Ustick, on the Boise Bench. The call initially came in as a ‘Code Blue’ for EMS units and an ‘Unknown Problem’ for police, but the incident was quickly reclassified as a shooting.
Boise police quickly moved to an encrypted radio channel and medical units were staged outside the neighborhood. Ten minutes later, medical units are told police have a suspect in custody and medics were cleared to go into the house.
Five minutes after that, medical units request a LUCAS device, which is an aid for CPR.
