A fire captain in California has been killed in her own home after being stabbed multiple times in what authorities suspect is a potential domestic violence attack, police said. The San Diego Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the homicide of 49-year-old Rebecca Marodi which occurred on the evening of Feb. 17 in the 20200 block of Rancho Villa Rd near Ramona, California, some 40 miles northeast of San Diego, according to a statement from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office on Monday. “At approximately 8:58 p.m., deputies from the Ramona Substation responded to a radio call regarding an assault with a deadly weapon at a residence in the area,” police said. “Upon arrival, deputies found 49-year-old Rebecca Marodi inside her home with multiple stab wounds.”
Investigators suspect the Cal Fire captain whose body was found in a Ramona home on Monday night knew her killer and "are treating this case as a potential domestic violence incident." San Diego County Sheriff's deputies said they were called around 9 p.m. to a report of an assault at the home. The woman, identified by a family member as Capt. Rebecca "Becky" Marodi, 49, was found with multiple stab wounds at her house in the 20200 block of Rancho Villa Road. First responders attempted to resuscitate Marodi, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. "Currently, the motivation and circumstances surrounding the homicide remain unclear, and detectives are diligently gathering more information to establish the facts of the case," the sheriff's department said in a news release issued on Tuesday afternoon.
