2 found dead in Sacramento home where police standoff ended (2025)

THAT JUST BROKE GROUND TODAY. FIRST UP TONIGHT, A TRAGIC ENDING TO AN OVERNIGHT STANDOFF. AUTHORITIES NEGOTIATING WITH THE SUSPECT FOR HOURS, ONLY TO FIND TWO PEOPLE DEAD OUTSIDE THE HOME. NOW, WE’VE BEEN WORKING TO GET ANSWERS FOR YOU SINCE THIS MORNING, WITH POLICE NOT REVEALING MUCH ABOUT HOW THIS STARTED AND WHO THE SUSPECT AND THE VICTIMS WERE. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US. RIGHT NOW AT 6:00, I’M GULSTAN DART AND I’M ANDREA FLORES. THIS ALL STARTED AT 1130 LAST NIGHT WHEN A RELATIVE OF A WOMAN KILLED RAN TO A HOME NEXT DOOR TO CALL POLICE. INVESTIGATORS HAVE BEEN OUT THERE EVER SINCE. THIS IS HAPPENING OFF 71ST STREET IN THE COLONIAL MANOR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THAT’S WHERE WE FIND KCRA 3’S DENEEKA HILL LIVE. DENEEKA. YOU’VE BEEN OUT THERE FOR HOURS WITH INVESTIGATORS. YOU’VE ALSO BEEN TALKING TO PEOPLE AND LEARNING A LOT. YEAH, WE HAVE LEARNED A LOT OF DETAILS RECENTLY IN THE LAST HOUR OR SO. BUT RIGHT NOW ON THE SCENE, THERE IS JUST ONE OFFICER HERE. I WANT TO SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE SEEING HERE ON THE SCENE. THERE’S JUST ONE OFFICER, BUT WE HAVE SEEN THESE CONSTRUCTION CREWS GOING IN THERE, REBUILDING THE FENCING AROUND THE HOUSE AND ALSO BOARDING UP SOME OF THE PROPERTY IN THE BACK OF THE HOME. BUT SOME OF THE DETAILS THAT WE HAVE LEARNED, WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE MAN ARRESTED IS 44. YEAR OLD MANFRED SCHIELE. NOW, ALL DAY WE HAVE SEEN DETECTIVES COMING IN AND OUT OF THE HOUSE. SEVERAL OF THE NEIGHBORS HERE TELL ME HE’S BEEN LIVING IN THAT HOME FOR YEARS. NOW, I SPOKE WITH ONE NEIGHBOR WHO SAYS HE ACTUALLY SPENT SOME TIME WITH WHO HE KNEW AS FRED AND STARTED TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH HIM. BUT HE SAYS THAT ALL SHIFTED ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO. HE STARTED TO NOTICE A CHANGE SHIELD, NOW IN POLICE CUSTODY. AFTER THAT HOURS LONG STANDOFF. THAT NEIGHBOR TELLS ME HE FEELS LIKE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING DONE TO AVOID THIS ENTIRE SITUATION. I MEAN, I WISH IT DIDN’T END THIS WAY. YOU KNOW, I DEFINITELY WISH THAT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOME POINT WHERE HE FELT LIKE HE COULD HAVE REACHED OUT OR DONE ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN THIS, BUT IT’S JUST TRAGIC. NOW, ALSO, WHILE WE WERE OUT HERE, A FRIEND OF SCHULTZ CAME BY ASKING ABOUT HIS DOGS. HE SAYS HE TOLD FRED IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN THAT HE WOULD TAKE OVER, TAKE CARE OF HIS DOGS, TAKE OVER FOR HIM. HE TOLD ME HE SPOKE WITH FRED JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE THIS ALL STARTED, AND IT DIDN’T SEEM LIKE ANYTHING WAS BOILING UP AT THAT POINT. BUT FOR HIM, IT FEELS LIKE HE HAS LOST A FRIEND. NOW I’M GOING TO GO GET HIS DOGS EVENTUALLY. GO SEE HIM. I MEAN, HE DIDN’T HAVE ANY FRIENDS AND I DIDN’T. I DON’T HAVE ANY FRIENDS. SO HE WAS A GOOD GUY. IT’S KIND OF LIKE LOSING IT, HAVING A FRIEND PASS AWAY. YOU KNOW, HE’S IN PRISON FOREVER. BUT HE MADE THAT DECISION. NOW, WE HAVEN’T LEARNED ANYTHING ABOUT THE VICTIMS INSIDE OF THE HOME. BUT THROUGH TALKING WITH NEIGHBORS OUTSIDE HERE, WE DID LEARN THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER MAN THAT LIVED IN THAT HOME WHO WAS IN NEED OF CARETAKING. AND THERE WAS ALSO A WOMAN THAT WAS TAKING CARE OF HIM. AND SO WE DO KNOW THAT THERE WAS A MAN AND A WOMAN KILLED IN THIS SITUATION. THAT’S WHAT POLICE FOUND INSIDE OF THAT HOME. WE ALSO DID LEARN THAT THE WOMAN THAT INITIALLY CALLED POLICE WAS INSIDE OF THAT HOME AT ONE POINT MADE IT OUT. DID SURVIVE THE SITUATION AND IS A RELATIVE OF THAT WOMAN THAT WAS FOUND DEAD INSIDE OF THAT HOME. NOW SHIELDS IS IN POLICE CUSTODY. HE IS NOW FACING HOMICIDE CHARGES AND HE WILL BE BOOKED INTO THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY JAIL HERE IN SACRAMENTO. DENEEKA HILL KCRA T
