Shortly before 2:00 a.m. on May 15, 2022, deputies and a special response team answered a report of a shooting at a home at 550 Ada Road in New Plymouth, Idaho. Inside the residence they found two people dead of gunshot wounds: 45-year-old Megan Amaya and 45-year-old Eric Ortega, both residents of New Plymouth.

The Payette County Sheriff’s Office treated the scene as a double homicide and requested assistance from the Idaho State Police. Investigators did not immediately release the type or caliber of the firearm involved, and no suspect had been located or publicly identified in the days following the killings.

What can readers in the New Plymouth area add about the night of May 15 or about either victim that might help investigators?
