The man who was shot in Boise last weekend after an alleged robbery has died at a local hospital, leading to the murder charges of a 19-year-old Meridian man and two teenage girls.
The shooting happened in the parking lot of a church off North Coal Road shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday, according to the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office and police.
The suspects — Daniel Alaniz Pineda, 19, Jordan Castillo, 17, and Miguel Angel-Martinez, 15 — met shooting victim Tiger Canoe, 19, and a woman in a nearby Albertsons parking lot, leading to a “property dispute” and a brief chase , according to police and court records.
Ada County Deputy Prosecutor Miles Russon argued in court Tuesday that the victims were meeting the suspects to sell them marijuana wax, a highly concentrated form of weed that is commonly inhaled, when all three suspects approached the vehicle to the victims, wearing masks and holding guns, telling them to “give me your shit”. The victims gave the suspects their phones, wallets and ID cards, authorities said.
Before fleeing, Angel-Martinez also attempted to slash the tires on Canoy’s vehicle. The suspects then drove down Cole Road to a church parking lot, and as the victims passed them in an attempt to get their license plate numbers, Alaniz Pineda got out of the seat of the suspects’ car and fired two shots, Russon said.
One bullet struck Canoy in the head and the other struck the woman in the thigh and elbow, according to the Ada County District Attorney’s Office. The medical examiner’s report released Wednesday also said Canoy died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Both victims were transported to a local hospital, and Canoy was pronounced dead Monday at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, the Ada County Coroner’s Office said in a news release Wednesday. The medical examiner ruled the manner of death a homicide.
“This case presents three individuals who are a serious threat to our community,” Russon said in court Tuesday. “All three planned, participated in and committed a robbery involving a firearm that helped kill one of the victims.”
Prosecutors charged Alaniz Pineda, Castillo and Angel-Martinez with first-degree murder and two counts of robbery, court records show. Russon claimed that after being read their rights by police, all three teenagers confessed to the robbery and confirmed that Alaniz Pineda was the one who fired the gun.
Under Idaho law, someone can be charged with murder even if they didn’t actually kill anyone, as long as they were in the process of committing another crime, such as robbery.
The Idaho Statesman and law enforcement typically do not name juveniles charged with crimes, but because they were charged with murder as adults, the two juvenile boys were identified.
Alaniz Pineda was additionally charged with aggravated battery and an enhancement for use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony. Alaniz Pineda and Castillo are Meridian residents, while Angel-Martinez is from Nampa, according to police.
“What if I can’t tie him up?”
Fourth District Judge Regan Jameson set substantial bail for all three suspects.
Alaniz Pineda was the first to appear in court, and prosecutors asked for $2 million bail given the seriousness of the case. Alaniz Pineda’s court-appointed attorney, Monica Gray, argued that the prosecution’s request was “excessive” given her client’s age and the fact that “he has no criminal record at all.”
Jameson said Alaniz Pineda’s case worries her for several reasons — including the seriousness of the crimes, his willingness to appear in court and the safety of the community. Although the Ada County judge did not go as far as the prosecutor’s recommendation, she said “substantial bail is necessary” and set Alaniz Pineda’s bond — along with bail for the two teenagers — at $1 million.
Using a bail bondsman, the suspects can get out of jail by paying 10 percent, or $100,000. If they do, Jameson said all three will have to wear GPS monitors, surrender their passports and be barred from leaving the state.
Both juveniles were allowed to have their parents present during their hearings, and both of the boys’ mothers expressed concern about the high bonds. Angel-Martinez’s mother asked, “What if I can’t bond him?” Castillo’s mother said she had hoped her son’s bond would not be so high given his lack of a criminal record.
Both boys will remain in the Ada County Juvenile Jail if they fail to post bail, while Alaniz Pineda will be booked into the Ada County Jail. Alaniz Pineda’s mother tried to ask a question during her son’s hearing, but because he is an adult, the judge shut her down.
“That will be it, thank you,” Jameson said, concluding the hearing.
