Police are still seeking one of four defendants in the Nov. 17 beating death of a 15-year-old boy who was left to die on the Evergreen Middle School football field in Everett.
The only youth still at large is Matthew Dominic Teague, 18, Everett police spokesman Boyd Bryant said.
Teague has been charged with first-degree murder in Snohomish County Superior Court in the death of Everett High School student Joshua Lorbiecki. Likewise, Everett brothers Emanuel Robert Wilson, 16, and Fernando Troy Wilson, 18, were charged with the crime and remained at large until Tuesday when they turned themselves in at the King County Jail.
The fourth defendant, Steven Limar, a 20-year-old cousin of the Wilsons, turned himself in to police in Alabama, where he apparently fled after the death.
Teague stands 5 feet 11 and weighs 140 pounds. His last known residence is south Everett.
Bryant said an Everett detective is expected to travel to Phenix City, Ala., this week to pick up Limar. The Wilson brothers were expected to be in the Snohomish County Jail by today.
Joshua was a sophomore who recently transferred to Everett High School. Prosecutors allege he was lured to the field on the pretext of buying marijuana. Instead, he was assaulted and robbed of $12. Prosecutors allege he was struck in the head at least twice with a miniature baseball bat.
People with information about Teague’s whereabouts or this investigation should telephone the Everett police tip line, 425-257-8450.
