The incident took place on June 5, 2021, when the first respondents arrived at a home in Tahoe City and found Spohr’s death of a single gunshot wound and wood wounded.
Wood was recovered from the injuries, but died of suicide a year later.
Video surveillance from the home showed a man wearing a gray hood sweatshirt, face coverage and a backpack approaching the house hours before the murder took place, according to Fox 2 San Francisco. Another video showed the same man who went up the driveway to the home.

Evidence from the two-year investigation pointed to Serafini and his romantic partner, Samantha Scott.
Prosecutors said they thought the murder was taking place over a $ 1.3 million renovation project, according to field -level media. A text message presented as proof, “I will kill them one day.”
Serafini is ready for penalties on August 18 in Place County.
The Minnesota twins chose Serafini in the first round of the 1992 MLB draft. He debuted for them in 1996 and beat three seasons before joining Chicago Cubs in 1999.
