Boise Police charge suspect with murder after report of a stabbing
October 4, 2024
Arrested: Scott Stevens, 35, Boise
Charges: First Degree Murder (F), Aggravated Assault (F) - 2 counts
Around 3:25 p.m. Boise Police officers responded to a report of a stabbing in progress on the 5000 block of N. Mitchell Street. Arriving officers located one victim who was rushed to a local hospital but passed away a short time later from multiple injuries. Officers quickly located the suspect on scene and he was taken into custody. The suspect was identified as Scott Stevens.
A preliminary investigation showed that the suspect and the victim knew each other and were living in a home with other adults. Evidence shows that two other adults in the home attempted to intervene and were threatened by the suspect while he was holding a weapon. At this time the attack on the victim appears to be unprovoked. Boise Police officers recovered the weapon at the scene and an investigation by the Boise Police Violent Crimes Unit is ongoing.
The identify of the victim will be released by the Ada County Coroner pending notification of next of kin. The suspect was booked into the Ada County Jail on the listed charges.
