ELK GROVE – A man was arrested in connection to the shooting deaths of his estranged wife and a man in an Elk Grove home Monday morning, authorities said.

The Elk Grove Police Department said officers responded to the area of Eva Avenue and Adams Street just before 11 a.m.and found two people — a man and a woman — inside a residence who had been shot. 

It wasn't until Monday evening that law enforcement officials confirmed the two individuals had died.

Michael Diego, 39, was identified as the suspect and the woman's estranged husband, police said. Diego was arrested at an area hospital, and he will be booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on two murder charges once he is medically cleared.

Elk Grove police did not say why Diego was at the hospital.

The identities of the victims have not been released by officials.
