Edmonds Home Invasion Suspect Shot in Salem, Oregon

Edmonds Police Department detectives have identified a suspect in the home invasion robbery of an Edmonds woman that occurred on April 23, 2013.  Detectives conducted an exhaustive investigation interviewing a number of witnesses before identifying the suspect.  He has been identified as Michael Kent Wylie. He is 48 years old 5’10” tall, weighs approximately 175 lbs. has brown eyes and is bald.

After the incident in Edmonds, Wylie was involved in a pursuit with Port of Seattle Police and subsequently traveled to the Tigard Oregon area in a stolen car, then south to Salem. 

Wylie then allegedly pulled a gun on Marion County Sheriff’s deputies who were investigating a report of a person sleeping in a vehicle on a highway overpass in South Salem Friday morning, April 26. 

Wylie was shot during this confrontation, was arrested and is hospitalized in an Oregon area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Here is the Marion County Sheriff's release on that shooting:

Marion County Deputies were called upon to check the welfare of a man reportedly slumped over in the seat of a parked car in South Salem.

The call was received at 7:09 am and upon arrival two deputies found a late model silver Acura facing northbound on the shoulder Sunnyside Road SE, near the Interstate 5 & Illahe overpass.

The deputies woke the sole occupant to check on his well-being. After awakening the man there was an encounter with deputies which resulted in the man being shot by a deputy.

The man, who was since identified as a wanted out-of-state fugitive considered armed and dangerous, was transported to the Salem Hospital where he is being treated for a non-life-threatening wound. Neither deputy was injured.

Investigators also confirmed the vehicle he was in, was stolen.

Records indicate that Wylie has been arrested in Utah as recently as December on drug and stolen property charges, but Edmonds Police said they aren't sure where he has been staying in Washington, other than at inexpensive hotels.

The Edmonds PD investigation is continuing with charges expected to be filed in its case.

Edmonds Police Sgt. Mark Marsh said that there are no current plans in place for extradition, and the names of the deputies involved in the Oregon shooting have not been released. It was Marion County's second officer-involved shooting this week.
