Police arrest Idaho man after Boise shooting left victim seriously injured

Less than six hours after the Boise Police Department asked for the public’s help to identify a shooting suspect, the department arrested an Idaho man in a Southeast Boise shooting that left a man seriously injured.

Bryson Grove, 21, of Idaho City, was arrested “without incident” on suspicion of aggravated battery, according to a news release from Boise police.

Police alleged that Grove and the unidentified victim were involved in a “verbal altercation” sometime before 3 a.m. Monday at an unidentified business in the 1700 block of Broadway Avenue. A “short time later,” Grove and the victim got into another confrontation in a parking lot near Broadway Avenue and West Linden Street, the news release said, which is when the shooting occurred. Police said Grove and the victim didn’t appear to know each other.

The victim was rushed to a local hospital, the release said. Boise police spokesperson told the Idaho Statesman by email Tuesday morning that the victim remained “in the hospital with serious injuries” but did not provide additional information.

Grove was booked into the Ada County Jail late Monday night, online jail records showed.

Grove was jailed on two holds, in addition to the battery charge, for failing to appear for previous court dates, according to online jail records.

“Thank you to everyone who contacted Boise police with tips and information,” the news release said.
