Wei Wang, age 50, was arrested in Washington county, Oregon on Saturday after fleeing from Shoreline on Thursday.

On Thursday morning around 9am, Wang went to the home of his estranged wife in the 18800 block of Stone Way N.

His wife was not home, but his mother-in-law, age 59, was. According to the King County Sheriff's Office, he beat her so brutally that she is in the hospital in critical condition.

His wife came home, found her mother, and called 911.

The King County Sheriff's Office investigators obtained a nationwide felony warrant and notified Oregon police agencies that Wang might be traveling through Oregon.

On Friday, September 15, 2017, at 8:54pm, an alert deputy from the Washington County Sheriff's Office was driving through the parking lot of a hotel in Beaverton when she noticed a vehicle associated with a wanted man from Washington.

Wang was arrested by patrol deputies and is being held without bail on a 1st degree felony warrant. He is lodged in the Washington County Jail awaiting extradition back to the state of Washington.
