Grants Pass, OR. – This morning at approximately 2:30 AM, Grants Pass Police responded to a report of domestic violence that was occurring on George Tweed Boulevard in Grants Pass. Officers arrived and discovered that 21-year-old Aidan Davis had fled the scene after allegedly firing a rifle into the ceiling, attempting to shoot a 22-year-old female, and physically assaulting an elderly male. Both victims received minor injuries during the assault but were not hospitalized.
Grants Pass Police Officers located Davis’s truck abandoned nearby and began a search for the dangerous suspect. Grants Pass Police Detectives, assisted by detectives from the Oregon State Police, arrived to conduct the investigation. The manhunt resulted in the suspect being located inside a residence on SW Esther Lane, where he had allegedly been hiding with the assistance of a 20-year-old female, Alyssa Nichols. The female was arrested for Hindering Prosecution when she exited the residence.
Grants Pass Police Officers surrounded the residence and called for the resistant Aidan Davis to exit.
