In-N-Out Employee Ashley Garibay, Christopher Claunch ID’d As Victims In Twin Falls Mass Shooting

TWIN FALLS, ID. (THECOUNT) — Ashley Garibay, an In-N-Out Burger employee from California, and Christopher Claunch, 59, were identified by their families as two of the three people killed in Saturday’s mass shooting at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls. Authorities said the gunman, Chad Williams, 24, died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after being confronted by two armed civilians.

Twin Falls is located in south-central Idaho, approximately 130 miles southeast of Boise.

Police said Williams opened fire inside and around the newly opened In-N-Out Burger on Saturday, killing three people and wounding seven others. Two of the injured remained in critical condition following the attack. A third victim who died has not yet been publicly identified.

Authorities said the shooting ended after two armed Good Samaritans returned fire, prompting Williams to suffer what investigators described as an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Officials have not announced a motive, and the investigation remains active.

Garibay had traveled from California to Twin Falls to help train employees at the restaurant following its recent opening. According to her family, she began her career at an In-N-Out Burger location in Stockton and quickly developed a passion for the company.

“She proudly traveled to open new stores, and her dream was to one day manage an In-N-Out store,” her family said in a statement. “She was passionate about serving customers and left this world doing what she loved to do.”

Her relatives described Garibay as a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend whose outgoing personality and compassion left a lasting impression on everyone she met. They said she “lit up a room with her bright smile” and never hesitated to help others through difficult times.

Claunch, a California native, moved to Idaho about 30 years ago after falling in love with the state, according to family members. He worked at Renaissance Ranch Recovery Center in Rupert, where he helped others struggling with addiction.

His sister, Kimberly Castaneda, said Claunch had celebrated two years of sobriety after overcoming a lengthy battle with alcoholism. She told family members he never fully recovered from the loss of his first wife, who was killed in a vehicle crash just three months after they were married.

Claunch later shared a home with his longtime partner, Teresa Sperry, and enjoyed traveling, cooking and spending time outdoors. Family members said he frequently visited In-N-Out Burger whenever he returned to California and had been excited for the Twin Falls location to open, although he initially planned to avoid the expected crowds.

Law enforcement officials have not released the identity of the third victim killed in the shooting. The investigation into the deadly attack remains ongoing.
