Update: Ada coroner says 28-year-old killed in Boise had multiple gunshot wounds
The Ada County Coroner’s Office has identified the Idaho man killed in a shooting over the weekend in downtown Boise.
The deceased man was identified as 28-year-old Lamont Rogers, the coroner said in a news release Sept. 7.
In a news release days later, on Sept. 15, the coroner’s office said Rogers was a Boise resident, and his death was caused by multiple gunshot wounds. Rogers’ manner of death was listed as a homicide.
At 4:07 a.m. Sunday, members of the coroner’s office were dispatched to the area of 6th and Grove streets in Boise, according to the release. Police converged to that same area at around 1:30 that morning after officers heard multiple gunshots. Officers also reported seeing a man on the ground being dragged out of the street by another man, according to a news release from the Boise Police Department.
Boise police say the victim — now identified as Rogers — had “multiple” gunshot wounds and died at the scene. Later that day, police announced that they arrested 20-year-old Timmothy Morgan on suspicion of murder. Morgan reportedly fled the scene after the shooting.
Court records show that Morgan faces one count of second-degree murder and a felony enhancement for using a firearm in commission of a crime.
Morgan made his initial appearance in an Ada County court Tuesday afternoon, according to online court records. He was appointed a public defender and given a $2 million bond amount.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Morgan remained in custody at the Ada County Jail.
