Homicide investigation underway, suspect possibly barricaded in south Sacramento County

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – A homicide investigation is underway and a man was detained at a south Sacramento County home on Wednesday afternoon, the sheriff's office said.

Deputies said a woman died, possibly from blunt force trauma, on Alta Mesa Road between Valensin Road and Arno Road, south of Wilton and northeast of Galt.

Authorities arrived at the scene around 2:40pm, according to deputies. The victim's body could be seen outside of the home in what appears to be a driveway.

Deputies believed the victim's 29-year-old son was barricaded in a building on the property, officials said. SWAT units were called to the scene.

The victim's son was detained after he was found inside the home hours later, deputies said. Investigators were not calling him a suspect in the homicide Wednesday night.
