The Twin Falls County Coroner has identified 16-year-old Vason Widaman as the victim involved in a drive-by shooting.

Police say Widaman was gunned down while riding his bike near Canyon Ridge High School around 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs says the investigation has been turned over to his office.  At this point no arrests have been made.

Austin Wilson was first to respond on the scene of the shooting and says, "I looked both ways and I saw the guy laying on the ground. I told her to call 911 and get my dad. I went over and started chest compressions on the guy, he was not responding."
