Police recovered the victim's car on March 3 and collected swabs. Five days later, officers attempted to stop a vehicle in which Wako was allegedly in. The affidavit states Wako fled from the vehicle, entering another stolen vehicle and fled from the scene. In the car he left behind, police located a machete.
