Placerville Police and other law enforcement agencies are continuing to search for a man and woman believed to be suspects in the shooting death of a man in West Sacramento early Sunday.
But Lt. Kim Nida said students at El Dorado High and Markham Middle schools, as well as youngsters in area day care centers that were under lockdown early in the afternoon, have been released.
The lockdowns were ordered as a precautionary measure after a citizen reported a vehicle that matched the description of a vehicle involved in the shooting at 4205 West Capital Ave. in West Sacramento.
The citizen also reported seeing a man and a woman leaving the area. Nida said police officers stood by at the schools until students were off the campuses.
Nida said damage to the vehicle matched that described by West Sacramento police. She said Placerville police, along with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol have been searching an area north of Highway 50 between Cold Springs Road and Highway 49. As of 4 p.m., she said, the suspects had not been located.
Nida said the woman is believed to be Roico "Rosie" Carmenta Ibanez, 32, described as between 5 feet, 2 inches, and 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds. She was reported to be wearing dark clothing.
The man was described as only as Hispanic with a shaved head and wearing a green shirt and blue jeans.
Nida said the two are believed to be armed and dangerous. She advised anyone who sees them to call 911.
Nida said Placerville Police are working with West Sacramento Police investigators to determine whether the two suspects live or have relatives in the Placerville area.
