Sacramento County sheriff’s detectives have arrested a 47-year-old man they suspect in Monday’s shooting death of a Rancho Cordova parks district supervisor, according to authorities.

The suspect, whose name has not been released, was arrested this morning on suspicion of murder and is being questioned by homicide detectives, said sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Jason Ramos.

Ramos said he will release the suspect’s name after he is booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail. However, Ramos did confirm that the suspect is a former employee of the parks district.

The man is suspected of fatally shooting 59-year-old Steve Ebert, superintendent of the Cordova Recreation & Parks District, as he arrived for work at the district offices in Hagan Community Park early Monday.
