Upon arrival on Grand Pine Way, officers located an adult male who was the victim of a gunshot. Life saving measures were administered on scene, however the victim succumbed to his injuries.
In reference to the second shooting on Grand Pine Way, we have a juvenile male in custody. His identify is not being released because he is a juvenile.
The victim of the fatal second shooting has been identified as 26-year-old Jacob Aguiniga of Nampa.
Both shooting incidents are gang related, and it appears all parties involved are gang affiliated.
“Overnight, our community suffered the senseless loss of a young man, and the life altering injuries to another. There is absolutely no purpose to this kind of violence, and we will work hard, with our neighboring agencies, to stop these crimes in our area,” said Chief Joe Huff. “We have a zero tolerance for gang activity and gang violence of any kind in Nampa and Nampa PD will pursue these crimes to the fullest of our abilities. Thank you to the Caldwell Police Department, Canyon County Sheriff’s Office and Idaho State Police for their partnerships and their assistance with extra resources last night.”
