On the afternoon of Friday, October 24, 2003, 41-year-old Tiki Danielle Maltby Wiese was killed during a mass shooting at the Stateline Bar in Oldtown, Idaho. The attack began after a dispute between Wiese and her ex-boyfriend, 53-year-old Ralph Reeves, who witnesses say suddenly opened fire with a semiautomatic pistol.
The shooting left four people dead: Tiki Wiese, her former father-in-law Leroy Wiese, 84, and two patrons, Chester Cavaliere, 63, and Henry Shumake, 63, both from nearby Newport, Washington. One patron escaped being struck when the shooter’s gun was discovered to be out of ammunition. Reeves fled the scene and was found later that night in his vehicle; deputies reported he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound while the car was under surveillance.
The killings and the shooter’s subsequent death devastated the small border community. If anyone remembers Tiki, Leroy, Chester, Henry, or the events at the Stateline Bar that afternoon, please share what you know.
