Good morning, Boise.

Boise Police reported that during the so-called 100 Deadliest Days from June 1st to June 8th, 48 crashes in Boise caused 15 injuries and one death — three more people died on local roads in Ada and Canyon Counties since Memorial Day due to not following traffic signals, failing to yield, and tailgating.

Caldwell Police arrested Darryl Kysar—a convicted felon wanted on a nationwide no-bond warrant—on June 12 after a tip led them to Sun Creek Point RV Park following his escape from Arizona law enforcement; he is now in custody.

Idaho State Police identified a motorcyclist who fled troopers twice in a high-speed chase last week—he turned himself in Friday afternoon as criminal charges are being filed through the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office.

Attorney General Raul Labrador warned on social media that violence, property damage, and lawlessness will not be tolerated during the No Kings protest planned for today — he stressed that peaceful protest is allowed and law enforcement will act against any illegal actions.

Real estate experts reported that Boise ranks as the second worst market in the nation—with a 4.56% vacancy rate and a 7.12% jump in the value-to-income ratio from 2022 to 2023—indicating that home prices have outpaced incomes and made it harder for locals to find affordable housing.
