The suspect’s grandmother, Rethea Kinner of Memphis, Tennessee was surprised to hear of the stabbing incident. “I’ve never known Timmy to do nothing like that,” said Rhea Kinner. “He’s been locked up but I’ve never known him to do a crime like that.”
Rethea Kinner said her grandson Timmy had called her about a week ago from Idaho, and said he was doing fine and looking for work. She also said her grandson did not have a history of mental illness that she was aware of.
As a convicted felon, Timmy Kinner was not allowed to carry a firearm, but his court records show that he was convicted of unlawfully possessing a weapon after becoming a convicted felon. But there’s no restriction on felons carrying knives in Idaho. past April, Kinner was in Utah where he was convicted on misdemeanor theft charges for stealing a wallet

The Jalil family makes up a third of the stabbing victims from the Saturday night attack at the apartment complex just off State Street, three-fourths of a mile northwest of the elementary school. The apartments are home to dozens of refugees from violence-plagued countries like Iraq, Syria and Ethiopia.

A joyous occasion — a 3-year-old girl’s birthday party — shattered by what Boise Police Chief William Bones described as an angry man wielding a knife and exacting vengeance. Teba's family fled violence in its home country of Iraq, only to find it in Boise, its safe haven.
