HOMEWOOD, Calif. — A suspect in a suspicious death at Lake Tahoe has been arrested at a ski resort on the lake's west shore.

El Dorado County deputies were dispatched to reports of shots fired at a home in the community of Homewood at about 12:40 p.m. Sunday where a dead body was found inside.

Sgt. Anthony Prencipe says when they arrived on scene about 8 miles south of Tahoe City a deputy heard additional shots coming from the area of a known felon's address.

A deputy saw the suspect leaving the home and initiated pursuit. Deputies in neighboring Placer County joined the chase and took the suspect into custody at the Homewood ski resort.
