A Washington man suspected in an Oct. 13 shooting in Saltese remains at large after he ditched his vehicle on a road south of the rural community in Western Montana.

Willie Joe Richardson is wanted on one felony charge of attempted deliberate homicide and three felony counts of assault with a weapon. His bail was set at $1 million, according to an arrest warrant issued Oct. 16 in Mineral County District Court.

Mineral County law enforcement were searching for Richardson last week following a report of a shooting in Saltese. The community is on I-90 just east of the Idaho and Montana border.
