THIS STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED.

LAKEPORT – Lake County Sheriff's Officials were on scene en mass Tuesday morning at a North Lakeport trailer park, where two people were taken into custody in connection with a death investigation.

Sheriff's officials on scene were not discussing precisely what had taken place at Western Hills Trailer Park, located at 3555 Lakeshore Boulevard.

Sheriff Rod Mitchell told Lake County News late Tuesday morning that a death had occurred, and investigators were still trying to sort out just what had taken place at the park.

“At this point it is certainly suspicious,” Mitchell said.

Officials had removed a hysterical woman and a child from a building at the park, and were questioning the screaming woman. The child was placed in an unmarked car and the woman was placed, handcuffed, in a marked patrol car.

After removing the woman and child, plain clothes deputies, with guns draw, ran into the building. A struggle could be heard taking place in the building.

Deputies emerged with a handcuffed man who was struggling and yelling, with what looked like blood on his hands. They appeared to be attempting to load the man into an ambulance.

Six unmarked patrol cars, two marked cars, a sheriff's truck and an ambulance were at the park, with more sheriff's vehicles arriving. Crime scene tape was being used to mark off investigative boundaries.

The coroner's office also was on scene.

Residents at the park would not offer comment on the situation.

Lake County News will continue to follow developments and update this report as more information becomes available.
