In an update on the 2 recent shootings in Twin Falls, the report explains the arrest and charges against the man authorities believe was part of a shooting that happened in the Target parking lot in Twin Falls during a fight. In the same report, it is stated that a second individual was taken into custody on unrelated charges. Just after that, it is stated that police believe they are closer to filing charges for the homicide shooting that happened on Capri Drive Thursday morning.

As a result of that arrest and the subsequent investigation, a second individual was taken into custody on unrelated charges in Ada County.

While we are not able to announce that charges have been filed in the Capri Drive shooting as of yet, investigators are now confident that there is no on-going threat to the community.
