Update 2:05pm:

A South Lake Tahoe man was gunned down in a residence on Spruce Avenue on Monday night.

Gregory Mitchoff, 62, was found with multiple gunshot wounds.

The suspect is still on the loose.

“Several witnesses said there was an argument before the gunshots,” Police Chief Brian Uhler told Lake Tahoe News. “This was not just a random act of violence for no reason at all.”

That doesn’t mean the suspect does not pose a danger. At this time there is no information about the suspect or the vehicle he sped off in. How the two knew each other has not been released.

Uhler said the victim was shot several times at about 9:40pm June 11. He was pronounced dead at Barton Memorial Hospital about two hours later.
