Kootenai County Sheriff’s deputies are still searching late tonight for a suspect wanted for a fatally shooting another man at a Hayden apartment complex.

The suspect, Chad Moore, 35, was last seen northbound on Government Way in a blue Toyota pickup with a white stripe, Idaho license plate K433586. He is believed to be armed and dangerous, according to Sgt. Andy Boyle.

The search began after Kootenai County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the Lakeview Village Apartments at 2:50 p.m. The victim, identified as 28-year-old Ryan William Taylor, of Coeur d’Alene, was found near the front door of Building C. Taylor was taken to Kootenai Medical Center where he died a short time later, said Lt. Stuart Miller, a sheriff’s spokesman.

Miller said the victim and Moore knew knew each other, but provided no other details.

The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office dispatched its helicopter about 6:30 p.m. to assist in the manhunt, which extended across the state line, said Sgt. Dave Reagan, Sheriff’s Office spokesman.

Miller said authorities have sent out bulletins to all law enforcement, including the Border Patrol in the region and agencies in Idaho, Washington and Montana.

Moore is 5 feet 6 inches tall, and weighs 195 pounds. He is wearing camouflage clothing and Carhartts overalls. Anyone who sees him should call 911 immediately, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Not sure as to race…
Just a good ‘ole boy exercising his 2nd Amendment rights to shoot anyone he darn well pleases, is my guess…
More importantly, why is it always a Toyota that is the “getaway” vehicle?
Drive it like a terrorist! LMFAO!

My source says his girlfriend had dumped him a few weeks ago. He showed up at her apartment & some guy answered the door. He shot him & then fled. HE IS ARMED & CONSIDERED EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

A North Idaho guy in carharts, camo, packing a gun, driving a pickup. Shouldn’t be hard to pick him out!
As always the second amendment fetishists will weigh in with their stupidly predictable “if the victim had been armed HE’D BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW!” mantra.
As always, the answer to these murders is MORE GUNS!

I hope they find this SOB right away. But, people with the wife beating mentality he has can’t hide for long. He better run long and hard because when they find him , he won’t be able to run anymore except maybe an hour a day when they let him out of his cage. It makes me sick to just look at his ugly mug!!!!!!!! I hate you!!!
