Law enforcement vehicles stand guard at a road barrier set up on Blairs Lane off Broadway in Placerville Wednesday afternoon. El Dorado Sheriff’s Office deputies were involved in a shooting nearby while serving a narcotics warrant.
One person is dead following an officer-involved shooting in Placerville Wednesday afternoon. The El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office narcotics team was serving a narcotics-related search warrant at a residence in the Baco Drive and Blairs Lane area around noon when an individual answered the door with an object deputies say appeared to be a firearm. Information regarding what actions led to at least one deputy shooting the person or how many deputies served the search warrant has not yet been released. The deceased’s identity or if that person resided at the home has also not been shared with the public. No officers were injured during the incident and no weapon had been recovered as of late Wednesday afternoon, according to EDSO Sgt. Anthony Prencipe, who spoke to reporters several hours after the
shooting. Prencipe confirmed the warrant was not marijuana related. Officers maintained a tactical team and resources at the scene to make sure the residence was clear of any other individuals. Some could be seen interviewing people at area businesses around 4 p.m. Wednesday. At 6:30 p.m. sheriff ’s officials reported via social media that SWAT and other law enforcement personnel had cleared the residence and determined no one else was inside. “Now, an in depth investigation is being conducted as part of our Critical Incident Protocol Policy,” sheriff ’s officials note on the EDSO Facebook page. “Investigations of critical incidents can place extraordinary demands upon the agencies involved. The goal of the Critical Incident Protocol is to help assure that such cases are thoroughly and fairly investigated. The investigation is conducted by EDSO and other outside agencies, including the District n See SHOOTING, page A9

The El Dorado Irrigation District Board of Directors OK’d several capital expenditures at its April 24 meeting. In February 2022 the board hired Water Works Engineers Inc. for slightly more than $1 million to design the Sly Park intertie. As the design progressed additions to the contract were made this January and again in February, totaling about $630,000. At the April 24 meeting EID engineer Jon Money told the board the Sly Park intertie project had reached 60% completion on the basis of design. This prompted another $124,988 to Water Works for geotechnical services and $21,680 to Area West for topographic surveys. The geotechnical services include eight borings and nine geophysical refraction surveys. Additionally, the site of a former mill will be investigated for the extent of woody fill and evaluation of alternate alignments. At Reservoir A, which receives water from Jenkinson Lake, utility potholing will seek the pipeline and borings will aid design for the pump station foundation.
