William Newton Scott, 38, was shot and killed on May 26, 2017, at the Creekside Trailer Court on Addison Avenue West in Twin Falls, Idaho. Scott had gone there with another man and a teenage male to confront 45-year-old Billy Duane Johnson at Johnson’s residence. A physical struggle broke out during the confrontation and Johnson produced a firearm; Scott died at the scene.

The Twin Falls Police Department investigated the shooting and, after reviewing the evidence with the Twin Falls County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, prosecutors concluded Johnson acted in self-defense and did not file homicide charges. A separate charge for being a felon in possession of a firearm was brought against Johnson; he pleaded not guilty. The prosecuting attorney called the incident a tragedy stemming from a series of poor decisions.

Are there details about that night or the people involved that anyone in the area can add?
