MERIDIAN, Idaho — **Update** One of the suspects has been arrested.

Meridian police are asking for the public's help identifying and locating two suspects from a fatal series of events Tuesday evening.

Police say the two men were involved in a theft at a store at the Village at Meridian around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The crash killed the third suspect. 

On Wednesday, the Ada County Coroner's Office identified the driver as Tylisha Evans, 22, of Payette. The coroner said she died from multiple blunt force injuries as a result of the crash.

At the same time a the high-speed chase, officers say one of the two men stole a security vehicle at the Village and led officers on another pursuit west to Oregon. That chase also involved Idaho State Police troopers and eventually Oregon State Police as well.
