HOMEWOOD, Calif. - The Placer County Sheriff's Office is investigating the murder of a 70-year-old Homewood man. On June 5, 2021, at 10:00 p.m., deputies responded to a 911 call in the 3000 block of West Lake Boulevard in the Hurricane Bay area of Lake Tahoe. When they arrived they found Robert Gary Spohr deceased of a single gunshot wound.
Surveillance in the area caught the video of a male who could be seen on foot around the property earlier in the day, which was the time of the incident.
The Placer Sheriff's Office is asking the public for assistance in hopes that people in the area may have further surveillance footage of the person of interest, may recognize the person's backpack, or have photos of him without the gaiter on.
Anyone with information on this homicide and any surveillance systems located along West Lake Boulevard is being urged to call the Placer County Sheriff’s Office tip line at (530) 889-7853.
