HOMEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - A 47-year-old suspect has been charged with murder in a homicide on Lake Tahoe’s west shore that detectives previously described as a suspicious death.

Jeremy David Virgo of Tahoma was being held Tuesday in the El Dorado County Jail after he was arrested Sunday at the Homewood Mountain ski resort about 8 miles (13 kilometers) south of Tahoe City.

It wasn’t immediately clear if he has a lawyer or will be appointed one at a pending court appearance.
