The suspect has been identified by the Ada County Coroner as Forrest T. Moore, age 31. Through the investigation, evidence shows the suspect was squatting at the residence on 21st street which was unoccupied and under construction.

One officer suffered a laceration on his arm during the interaction with the suspect. The incident remains under investigation by the Ada County Critical Incident Task Force being led by the Ada County Sheriff’s Office.
