OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 07/26/2023, at approximately 10:24 p.m., Boise Police Department officers responded to reports of an armed man firing a rifle in the North End neighborhood near North 20th Street. While officers were gathering information, additional gunshots were heard, and more officers responded. Officers located 28-year-old Macey Juker, who was armed with an AK-47-style rifle.
According to investigators, Juker initially put the rifle down in response to officers' commands but then picked it up, ran, turned toward officers, and opened fire. Officers returned fire, striking Juker. After falling to the ground, Juker fired additional rounds before officers fired again. Officers attempted life-saving measures, but Juker was pronounced dead at the scene. No officers were injured.
The Ada County Coroner identified the decedent as Macey Juker and determined the cause of death to be multiple gunshot wounds. The Ada County Critical Incident Task Force investigated the shooting. In April 2024, Gem State Prosecutor Erick Thomson concluded the officers' use of deadly force was legally justified after reviewing body-camera footage, witness statements, and forensic evidence.
