CAMERON PARK, Calif.<\/strong> \u2014 A 47-year-old Cal Fire captain was arrested early Friday in connection with a shooting that left a woman and a boy dead in Cameron Park, the El Dorado County Sheriff\u2019s Office said. Deputies were called around 9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21, to a home in the 3000 block of Oakwood Road, where the woman was pronounced dead at the scene and the juvenile later died at a hospital. A second child who lives at the residence was found safe, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

The suspect, identified by deputies as Darin McFarlin<\/strong>, was located after midnight in Mono County and taken into custody without incident. He was booked into the El Dorado County Jail on two counts of homicide<\/strong>; SFGATE reported he was booked around 5:30 a.m.<\/strong> Friday.<\/p>\n

McFarlin is being held without bail<\/strong>, jail records and local outlets reported Friday.<\/p>\n

In a brief on-camera statement, sheriff\u2019s spokesperson Sgt. Kyle Parker<\/strong> said investigators believe \u201cthe suspect and the adult victim were in a domestic relationship. Now, what kind of how that defines out, as far as married or dating, I don’t know at this time.<\/strong>\u201d Parker also said the suspect did not resist arrest.<\/p>\n

Cal Fire<\/strong> confirmed to local media that McFarlin is a fire captain with the Amador\u2013El Dorado Unit (AEU)<\/strong> and said the agency is monitoring the situation. The Sheriff\u2019s Office said the Douglas County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Mono County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the California Highway Patrol<\/strong> assisted in the investigation.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not released the names of the victims, pending notification of family. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the El Dorado County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> The El Dorado County Sheriff\u2019s Office Coroner Division has identified Marissa N. Divodi-Lessa, 29 years old, of Shingle Springs, Ca as the adult victim in this investigation. The identification of the juvenile victim in the investigation will not be released.<\/p>\n
