On July 19, 2021, 31-year-old Maden McAnear, a White/Caucasian man, was shot and killed at the Sundown Motel in Kamiah, Idaho. The shooting also killed 57-year-old Chip Brooks; both victims were staying at the motel and were believed to be acquainted with the man later identified as the shooter.

Witnesses described 71-year-old Ronald Port firing into a vehicle belonging to one of the victims before shooting McAnear and Brooks in or near their motel rooms. Deputies from the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office found the three men deceased at the scene; investigators concluded Port then took his own life, and the incident was classified as a double homicide-suicide. No arrests were made because the primary suspect was deceased. The motive has not been disclosed.

If anyone knew Maden, lived at the Sundown Motel, or saw activity there around July 19, 2021, please come forward with any information.
