A man who was turkey hunting is suspected of shooting and killing another hunter in Sutter County on Sunday morning, deputies said.

The Sutter County Sheriff's Office said it was investigating a hunting incident around 9 a.m. in a state wildlife area near Gifford Road and Becker Road. 

At the scene, deputies said they located a 65-year-old man with a single gunshot wound. He died at the scene. 

During the investigation, deputies said they identified 80-year-old John Lee out of Sacramento as a suspect.

Lee was booked into jail on second-degree murder and negligent discharge of a firearm, deputies said. 

The sheriff's office said the two men were turkey hunting but were doing so separately. Investigators believe Lee allegedly fired into the brush, not knowing what he was aiming at.

The man who died has been identified as Sacramento resident Shawn Parrish. 

No other information has been released at this time.
