A Reno man suspected of a fatal shooting in Tahoe City committed suicide in a church bathroom, according to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives identified the suspect as 52-year-old Salvador Murillo-Cabrera, who was seen moments before the shooting at Boatworks Mall on Saturday evening.

A vehicle that looked similar to his car was also spotted speeding away from the scene, authorities said in a recent news release.

Investigators learned that Murillo-Cabrera and the victim, 33-year-old Sparks resident Octavillo Villa-Villanuvea, were former coworkers at a restaurant near the mall.

Villa-Villanuvea and his nephew were both sitting inside their car when they were shot, but his nephew survived with injuries that weren't life-threatening, according to Angela Musallam, public information officer for the Placer County Sheriff's Office.

Detectives described their relationship as "acrimonious" because the suspect believed the victim was having an affair with his wife, authorities said in the news release.

Still, detectives said they don't have information confirming the alleged affair.

On Sunday, Murillo-Cabrera’s body was found in the bathroom at the St. Peter Canisius Catholic Church in Sun Valley. Authorities said the handgun he had in his possession was the same caliber weapon used in the shooting in Tahoe City. It also contained the same brand of ammunition.

Detectives are awaiting ballistic and lab results to determine if the gun used in the apparent suicide is the same gun used in the fatal shooting.
