Officer involved shooting near South Lake Tahoe forces road closures
Submitted by Jeff Munson on Mon, 10/29/2018 - 2:24pm
UPDATE: Investigators are on the scene of an officer-involved shooting that happened Monday afternoon west of South Lake Tahoe.
At approximately 1 p.m., detectives from the South Lake Tahoe Police Department became involved in a pursuit of a motorcycle, according to El Dorado County Sheriff's Sgt. Anthony Prencipe. Details are still being worked out, but from the early investigation, Prencipe said there were shots fired at the SLTPD detectives on SR89 near Luther Pass.
They pursued the motorcyclist and were joined by other law enforcement officers as the chase led them into El Dorado County and through the intersection with Highway 50. They then headed west to North Upper Truckee Road.
At that spot the motorcyclist was shot by SLTPD officers. Medical attention was given to the rider but he died at the scene.
The area is still surrounded by crime scene tape and Prencipe said it could be hours until it reopens. Also closed in SR89 at the scene of the initial shots. Motorists are not allowed between South Upper Truckee Road and Pickett's Junction.
