Sharon Hamilton, 78, and her husband Douglas Hamilton, 82, were found dead inside their Crossbill Lane home in Diamond Springs after deputies responded to a 911 report of a shooting on February 22, 2025. Both were discovered deceased when officers arrived; the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office later confirmed their identities but has not released further details about what occurred.

Investigators say there is no ongoing threat to the community but have not indicated whether any arrests have been made or named any suspects. The sheriff’s office declined to comment on whether there had been prior law enforcement contacts at the residence. The case remains under active investigation and authorities have offered condolences to the family.
