According to police, Chavez and Ford were already being held in the Ada County Jail following their arrests in a separate case and the new charges were added while they were already in custody.
That earlier case involved a fight at a separate house party in Boise on Aug. 16, where police said shots were fired into the ceiling and roof of the home. Six people, including Chavez and Ford, were arrested.
Police say evidence shows gang activity played a role in both incidents.
Officers are still searching for 22-year-old Keigan Blagburn, who is wanted on an aggravated battery charge, and 18-year-old Tashaun Maldonado, who is wanted on a charge of aiding and abetting second-degree murder.
Anyone with information about the suspects or the stabbing is asked to call Ada County Dispatch at 208-377-6790. The investigation remains ongoing.
