SEATTLE — Authorities are searching for a man in connection with a shooting just south of Seattle that killed a 26-year-old man.

King County Sheriff’s Office detectives have identified the suspect as Mical D. Roberts, 24. He’s described as 6 feet 5 inches tall and 250 pounds.

The sheriff’s office said there is probable cause to arrest Roberts on suspicion of murder and called him armed and dangerous.

Anyone who knows of his whereabouts is asked to call 911.

Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Ryan Abbott said Roberts is wanted for the death of Ricardo Villaenor on Nov. 19 near White Center.

Deputies responded to a call from a woman hiding in a closet saying a shooting was happening at a house where Villaenor lived.

When deputies arrived, they found Villaenor with multiple gunshot wounds. He died at the scene. The suspect fled in a vehicle.
