Man, 70, shot dead in Lake Tahoe-area home. Placer deputies seek person of interest
Deputies are seeking information from the public following the shooting death of a 70-year-old man last weekend at a North Lake Tahoe-area residence.
Authorities responding to a 911 call from a home in Homewood around 10 p.m. Saturday arrived to find the victim, identified as Robert Spohr, dead of a single gunshot wound, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office said in a social media post.
The Sheriff’s Office included surveillance video from the property a few hours earlier showing a person of interest. The video showed a man in a dark hooded sweatshirt, gloves, white neck gaiter and gray backpack run down the street, then walk onto the property past an SUV parked in the driveway.
Deputies ask anyone with information about the homicide or who have surveillance systems set up on West Lake Boulevard to call the sheriff’s tip line at 530-889-7853.
