Pollock Pines Man Arrested In Death Of Brother, Sister-In-Law

POLLOCK PINES (CBS13) -- El Dorado County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested a relative of a couple shot dead at their home in the Southern Oregon community of Merlin.

Gary Lyle Goins was arrested on aggravated murder charges Tuesday afternoon near his home in Pollock Pines.

Deputies say he is the brother of Dennis Goins, who was found at his home on Monday along with his wife, Susan Goins.

Deputies released no further details on the shooting or what the motive may have been.

Sheriff's deputies responded to the 5100 block of Sierra Springs Drive in an attempt to locate Goins. Deputies checked the residence and vehicles but Goins wasn't there. They then began a search of the Pollock Pines area and located Goins' vehicle at the Knot Hole gas station on Sly Park Rd.

Deputies set up around the gas station and located Goins coming out of the mini-market. Goins was ordered to the ground and taken into custody without incident. Deputies transported Goins to the detective's office where investigators from Josephine County Sheriff's Office could interview him.

Goins was later transported to and booked into the Placerville county jail, where he is being held without bail.
