A Christmas Day gathering in a West Boise home ended in the fatal shooting of 38-year-old David Pistole. On December 25, 2023, Boise police responded to reports of gunfire at a residence on the 8000 block of West Pomona Court and found Pistole with gunshot injuries. He was taken to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center and died of multiple gunshot wounds just before 9 p.m. The Ada County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators say a domestic dispute involving several people occurred at the home before the shooting, but details of that dispute and the identity of the shooter have not been released. As of late December 2023, no arrests had been announced and the Boise Police Department’s investigation remained active.

If anyone was at the Pomona Court gathering or has information about the dispute or the shooting, please contact the Boise Police Department.
