Officers investigating homicide of 41-year-old Erica Wright in Roseville's Livoti Avenue home

Officers are still searching for a suspect, as of press time Thursday, after a woman was found dead inside a home early Wednesday morning, according to Placer County Sheriff's Office public information officer Angela Musallam. Placer County Sheriff's deputies responded to a 9-1-1 call shortly after midnight Wednesday at a duplex on the 500 block of Livoti Ave. in Roseville, according to Musallam. When deputies entered the home, they found a 41-year-old woman who had died, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Office. The incident is still actively being investigated and detectives have determined the death to be a homicide, according to law enforcement. The Placer County Sheriff-Coroner Division identified the victim as 41-year-old Erica Marie Wright on Thursday morning. As of Thursday morning, a suspect has not been identified or located, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Office. "We urge the public and neighbors to remain vigilant as we have not yet located or identified the suspect," Musallam said Thursday morning. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood Wednesday morning looking for video surveillance related to the homicide, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Office. "The incident is so fresh that detectives are still trying to piece together what happened," said Musallam on Wednesday morning. The Placer County Sheriff's Office asks residents who have any information that can help lead to the suspect's arrest to call the office's homicide tip line immediately at 530-889-7853. A cash reward is being offered through Crime Stoppers for any information leading to the arrest of the suspect, Musallam said. Residents can submit their tip anonymously to 1-800-222-7463 or to www.crimealert.org. One neighbor who lives near the duplex where Wright lived said he heard from other neighbors that she was beaten to death with a baseball bat. The Placer County Sheriff's Office cannot confirm additional details on the incident at this time because it is an active investigation, Musallam said Thursday morning. "I can confirm there was a resident inside the home with the victim when she was killed," Musallam said Thursday. "That resident called 9-1-1 to report the deceased female." Janice Palomo, another neighbor who lives next to the duplex where Wright was found, said her family was asleep when the incident occured. Police officers knocked on her door at about 1 a.m. to ask questions and search her backyard for a suspect, Palomo said. Palomo said she did not hear any gunshots that night. Officers did not give Palomo details on the incident but told her they were looking for a white male who is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and wearing a hoodie, she said. Palomo, who has lived in the neighborhood for about 25 years, said Wright had been living in the unit at that duplex for about 10 years with a husband and two sons, who are aged around late teen to early adult. Palomo gave the two boys her old basketball hoop years ago, she said. "We talked to each other through the fence a couple of times and that's it," Palomo said about how well she knew about Wright and her family. "They kind of kept to themselves. Pretty much everybody in this neighborhood just keeps to themselves." Palomo said she and her kids still feel safe in the neighborhood and that incidents like this are usually targeted and not random. Palomo said she had never heard of instances of physical violence from Wright's home. "We hear fights, yes, verbal fights," Palomo said about the woman's house. "But nothing anything ever like where we thought anybody was being injured or anything like that, just a normal family."
