On the evening of Friday, September 5, 2025, gunfire erupted shortly after 5:24 p.m. near a residence on Thunder Hill Road near Lapwai, Idaho. When officers arrived they found 45-year-old Krystal Lee Medlin of Lewiston deceased and 65-year-old Kelvin M. Jones wounded; Jones was transported for medical treatment.

Multiple agencies responded, and a suspect who lived near the scene, 30-year-old Christian M. Forslof, was detained that same night. Forslof admitted to shooting Medlin and Jones, and charging documents say both victims had entered a storage unit on Forslof’s property before the shooting. Forslof told investigators he acted in self-defense; Jones reportedly described Forslof as the aggressor. Forslof was arraigned on second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder charges and held on $1 million bond.

Officials say there is no ongoing threat to the public. If anyone knew Krystal Lee Medlin or saw activity on Thunder Hill Road that evening, please share what you know with investigators.
