The Ada County Coroner’s Office on Monday afternoon identified a Boise man who was shot and killed by Boise police early Saturday morning.

The man, who died of multiple gunshot wounds, was 31-year-old Forrest T. Moore. He was pronounced dead shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday.

According to the coroner’s office, police attempted “lifesaving measures” at the scene of the shooting, but Moore was pronounced dead at the emergency department of Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.

Police said in a news release over the weekend that they responded to reports of a trespasser “squatting” for several days at N. 21st Street and Pleasanton Avenue in West Boise. They said that upon being approached by police in an alley, the man “produced what appeared to be a handgun, pointing it toward officers.” Police have not confirmed whether he did, in fact, have a weapon.

Police have not said how many officers fired or which officers were involved. The Ada County Sheriff’s Office is leading a Critical Incident Task Force investigation into the shooting.

It was the Boise Police Department’s third shooting in about one month’s time, and the fifth in the Treasure Valley in the same time frame.

  • US House set to vote on foreign aid package: What's in it?

    The US House of Representatives is set to vote on a foreign aid package over the weekend which will give billions of dollars in support to several regions including Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region. In addition, a bill forcing ByteDance's divestment from TIkTok has found its way into the package. While there is sure to be pushback from either side of the aisle, is there enough bipartisan goodwill to see the package passed? Stifel Chief Washington Policy Strategist Brian Gardner joins Market Domination Overtime to give insight into the House Foreign Aid package and the chances of it passing. On the chances of it passing, Garner claims the bill "will go to the Senate and I suspect it will ultimately pass. The TikTok issue was something that was kind of interesting because there was some apprehension about the TikTok legislation by some Senate Democrats, among others, that's apparently been addressed. So you're going to have a series of individual votes on these different bills that are going to be cobbled together, merged together, sent to the Senate, and I think it passes.
