Boise PD: Woman arrested Saturday in death investigation released without charges

Police said Monday that new evidence led detectives to release the woman, whom they had suspected of second-degree murder after a death on Fernwood Drive.

BOISE, Idaho — The Ada County Coroner's Office released the name of the man officers found dead inside a home on West Fernwood Drive in Boise over the weekend.

The coroner's office says 58-year-old Ronald Kirchner, Sr. died from a gunshot wound to his chest. However, Boise police are still investigating how he was shot.

According to a prior news release from the Boise Police Department (BPD), officers were called around noon Saturday to a house on the 6700 block of West Fernwood Drive for a suspected suicide. When they arrived, officers found a man, now identified as Kirchner, dead inside the home with a gunshot wound.

During an initial investigation, evidence led detectives to believe the death to be a homicide. Police arrested 51-year-old Cambria Kirchner, and booked her into the Ada County Jail for second-degree murder.

But on Monday, BPD announced it released Cambria from jail; BPD said they found new evidence that contributed to her release.

"Based on this new evidence, detectives are releasing Cambria Kirchner from the Ada County Jail without criminal charges. The death investigation is ongoing," a BPD news release stated Monday.

As they continued to investigate the incident, police say they found the evidence that led to Cambria's release.

The police department said there is no evidence of any threat to the general public.
