LAKE TAHOE, CALIF. A chase along State Route 89 between Tahoma and Homewood today resulted in the arrest of a man who is being accused of being involved in a shooting and suspicious death.

On February 11, 2018, at around 12:40 p.m. Deputies from the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office (EDSO) were dispatched to a report of suspicious shots fired in the area of Timber Wolf Drive and Alder Street in Tahoma. Upon arrival, the deputy could hear gunshots coming from the area of a known felon’s address. Shortly after, the deputy observed the suspected person leaving the home. A pursuit was initiated and the suspect was later taken into custody by Placer County Sheriff’s Deputies at the Homewood Ski Resort.

A welfare check on the original address revealed a decedent inside the home.

This is an active investigation spanning between two counties with multiple crime scenes. Currently, EDSO Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators are working the investigation. It is not believed that there are any outstanding persons and no reason to believe there are any safety threats in Tahoma or El Dorado/Placer Counties regarding this incident.

According to an earlier report by the Placer County Sheriff's Office, the suspect tried to ram an El Dorado County deputy’s vehicle with his vehicle during the pursuit that went from El Dorado County to Placer County.

The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office is handling the case in both counties.

No names have been released. More information will be released as it becomes available.
