Authorities have released the name of a Coeur d’Alene man who was killed in a shooting last week near Colfax.
The Whitman County Sheriff says 55-year-old Kenneth Allen was found dead in a vehicle on Colfax Airport Road near State Route 26 on Friday.
30-year-old Ashley Myers, a homeless woman, was arrested in connection with the death after reportedly making statements that she intentionally shot Allen. She is expected to make her first appearance in Superior Court Monday.
Authorities say the woman was near the side of the road, carrying a baseball bat, and acting agitated when they arrived at the scene of the shooting. Deputies reportedly found a loaded handgun and methamphetamine near the vehicle. (Lewiston Tribune, AP)
