Police said they are looking into a Nampa homicide after a shooting.
Patrol officers found a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound about 11:30 p.m. Saturday while responding to reports of a shooting at a party in the 17000 block of North Pegram Way, according to a Nampa Police Department news release.
Officers performed lifesaving measures on the man at the scene before an ambulance took him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the release said.
The department said it would not release the man’s name until family members were notified of his death.
The public is not at risk, according to police. They believe the shooting was “gang related” and an “isolated incident between the involved individuals,” according to the release.
“Activities and statements made during the investigation led detectives to believe there was gang involvement,” Carmen Boeger, Nampa police spokesperson, told the Idaho Statesman in an email.
Nampa police had not taken anyone into custody as of Sunday, Boeger said.
Detectives asked anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 208-343-2677 or leave a tip at 343COPS.com. Those leaving tips can remain anonymous.
