South Lake Tahoe murder suspect arrested in Texas

Domenic Seanlee Randolph, a suspect in the murder of Dennis Wright, Jr. at a South Lake Tahoe motel, was arrested Tuesday in Texas.

The 22-year-old-Randolph is the third suspect arrested for the January 30, 2016 shooting death of Wright, who allegedly brought 100 pounds of marijuana to the Beverly Lodge to sell. He was shot and killed in the motel's parking lot during an apparent robbery attempt.

Two detectives from the South Lake Tahoe Police Department and one investigator from the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office located and arrested Randolph with the help of the United States Marshall’s Service, the Houston and Humble Texas Police Departments and the Harris County Texas Sheriff’s Office. He is currently in the Harrison County Jail in Houston awaiting an extradition court date.

South Lake Tahoe Police Lt. Brian Williams said he couldn't reveal how they located Randolph at this time since it is still an active investigation which is ongoing by SLTPD, El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department, El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office, and SLEDNET.

The return of the officers back to South Lake Tahoe is being hampered by high flood waters in Houston.

Randolph's arrest follows the February arrests of two other suspects, Harvest Davidson and Tristan Batten. Detectives from the South Lake Tahoe Police Department were working on the case in Vallejo, Calif., on February 16 when they arrested tbe 18-year-old Batten for his participation in Wright's murder. Continuing their investigation in Sacramento the following morning, detectives arrested the 20-year-old Davidson for his participation in this murder case

Still on the most wanted list is the fourth suspect, 26-year-old Dion Jermaine Randolph Vaccaro who is listed as being 6 feet tall, 200 lbs with brown hair and brown eyes. The El Dorado County District Attorney's Office said Vaccaro should be considered armed and dangerous.
