Update: Suspect in Boise stabbing found dead by police, victim in stable condition
The suspect in a stabbing near Manitou Park in South Boise early Saturday morning was found dead in a nearby residence, the Boise Police Department said Saturday afternoon.
Police arrived at the scene after neighbors reported hearing screams and seeing the victim, a woman who was discovered “badly injured” outside a residence and taken to a hospital shortly after 7 a.m. with what were called life-threatening injuries, police said.
Police evacuated nearby apartments as they searched for the perpetrator. A suspect eventually was located in a residence, after police had been unsuccessful getting him to come out to surrender.
“Upon entry into the residence, the adult male suspect was found deceased with what appeared to be self-inflicted wounds,” according to the updated release.
The stabbing took place in the 1600 block of Federal Way, according to police. The female victim is still hospitalized and is in stable condition.
