MERIDIAN POLICE INVESTIGATE DOUBLE HOMICIDE
 
On Sunday December 3, 2023, at approximately 7:10 p.m., Meridian Police responded to an unknown problem call in the 2000 block of N. Cougar Way, Meridian, Idaho. The initial calling party indicated there was some type of domestic disturbance and they believed someone may have been shot inside the residence.
 
Upon entering the residence, Meridian Police officers and Ada County deputies discovered two (2) deceased adult females, one victim (33 years old) and a second victim (41 years old). The victims were found different locations inside the house.
 
Officers were able to quickly identify a suspect and began a search of the area and were notified of a carjacking on Zircon Avenue, approximately ½ mile from the homicide scene. An Ada County deputy in the area of Ustick and Venable, located the stolen vehicle and attempted a traffic stop. The suspect fled the stolen vehicle on foot with the deputy following in a foot pursuit at which time the suspect fired several rounds at the deputy. Thankfully the deputy was uninjured and officers quickly set up a perimeter locating the suspect, who then committed suicide in the 700 block of W. Indian Rocks.
 
The Meridian Police Department will hold a press conference at 10:00 a.m. at the Meridian Police Department 1401 E. Watertower St. in the media room.
