Police seek suspect car involved in shooting incident

CHUBBUCK, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - UPDATE 9-30 2:30 p.m.: Chubbuck Police have released a surveillance picture of the car they believe was involved in a shooting incident early Tuesday morning.

The photo is the actual vehicle involved. The driver’s side mirror and passenger side mirror are different, possibly even a different color. The vehicle has a sunroof and there appears to be damage to the rear dash. The paint on the car also appears to be a spray can black. There is also some type of add-on accessory below the rear bumper.

Anyone with information about the location of the vehicle should contact the Chubbuck Police Department at 208 237 7172.
