In the early morning hours of November 16, 2023, 32-year-old Fred Rodriquez left his Twin Falls, Idaho, home after hearing a noise and confronted a stranger in his driveway. Rodriquez, described as a White/Caucasian husband and father of three, was armed with a baseball bat when he stepped outside. During the encounter he was shot and, despite police first-aid efforts, died shortly after from his injuries. The assailants fled in a white truck.

Police arrested 18-year-old Mi'Quavis Dewayne Taylor on November 17 and, shortly after, 18-year-old Kaden James Thomson. Court documents allege the two teens had been stealing vehicles in the days before the shooting, drove a stolen white pickup to Rodriquez’s street intending to take a van, and that Thomson shot Rodriquez during the confrontation; both are charged with first-degree murder and related offenses. Reports say the pair fled to Boise and were taken into custody after a pursuit and crash, and that they admitted involvement in some crimes.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw activity on Rodriquez’s street that morning or who can help fill in what happened in the driveway?
