A murder in Nampa, just outside of the local Buffalo Wild Wings, shook our community in 2022. The news of such a crime--in such a public place, came as a shock.

All of this time later, the case has remained open, as authorities searched for answers on the death of Joe 'Joey' Flores -- a 23 year-old man.

Breaking news over the weekend has informed the community that arrests have been made.

Here's a closer look at the arrests made over the weekend, as announced by the Nampa Police Department:

Do you know any of these individuals or have any further information on the case? Nampa Police have said that this is still under investigation. 

It has been nearly 2-years in the making for all of these arrests to come to fruition.

Chief of Police Joe Huff shared the following statement following these breakthrough arrests:

Some have criticized Nampa PD during this investigation, but the steadfast work of the detectives has produced some great results. In the end, every unit of the Nampa Police Department played a role in putting these gang members behind bars. I’m proud of the dedication and teamwork of my co-workers.

It's unfortunate that it took so long--especially for the family of the victim--however there is no doubt that being somewhat closer to closure must be reassuring. We're thankful for our local law enforcement.
