KUNA, Idaho (KBOI) — The Twin Falls County prosecutor says use of deadly force against a 32-year-old Nampa man involved in a Kuna manhunt earlier this year was justified.
Back in January, police say Ramon Milanez opened fire on a Kuna Police officer during a traffic stop Jan. 24. He then ran off and then spent hours hiding in a neighborhood near Linder and Deer Flat/Hubbard roads.
After several hours, police were able to track him down to a home on the 400 block of E. Black Hawk Drive. Milanez then opened the garage door and got into a vehicle to try and back out of the driveway.
A Boise Police officer working with the tactical team, who had an armored vehicle parked nearby, drove over and blocked the car before it could get out of the driveway.
It was then, police say, when members of the tactical team fired at Milanez in the car. He was pronounced dead a short time later. Investigators did not find a handgun at the home on Black Hawk Drive but did find two guns by a backpack Milanez dropped near the home before he broke in.
Police say an internal investigation into whether Ada County Sheriff policies were followed during the incident is almost finished.
