ALAMEDA, Calif. — A sheriff’s deputy was taken into custody Wednesday after he fatally shot a married couple, authorities said, prompting a manhunt across suburban Northern California and a nearly hourlong phone conversation that ended with his surrender, officials said.

Devin Williams Jr., 24, is accused of shooting the woman, 42, and her husband, 58, with his service weapon inside their home early Wednesday in Dublin, roughly 25 miles southeast of Oakland, an Alameda County sheriff’s spokesman, Lt. Ray Kelly, told reporters.

Williams was off duty at the time.

Williams, who had worked in the courthouse division of the sheriff’s office for a year, hadn’t yet been booked when authorities announced his surrender, Kelly said.
