Miguel Davalos was 21 when he was found dead from a gunshot wound at a residence on West Taber Road, west of Blackfoot, Idaho, on the evening of Monday, August 18, 2014. Bingham County sheriff’s deputies arrived about 8 p.m. and Davalos was pronounced dead at the scene. The sheriff’s office opened a homicide investigation.

Detectives from the Bingham County Sheriff’s Office and the Blackfoot Police Department spent nearly a year on the case, conducting hundreds of hours of interviews, following leads, and collecting evidence while working with the prosecutor’s office. Investigators ultimately identified a suspect, named in charging documents as Daniel Olvera Magana and also reported as Daniel Magana Olvera, then 55 years old. A $1 million arrest warrant was issued charging him with second-degree murder, aggravated battery, and unlawful discharge of a firearm into an inhabited dwelling, and authorities reported believing he had fled to Mexico.

Anyone with information about Miguel, the shooting on West Taber Road, or the whereabouts of Daniel Olvera Magana is asked to come forward.
