BREAKING: A Cleveland man, Larry Wiley, 49, now faces multiple charges, including attempted murder of a federal officer, following a shooting incident involving a U.S. Marshal on October 15. The shooting occurred while federal officers and Cleveland Police were executing a warrant in the Glenville neighborhood, specifically at E. 91st Street and Stewart Avenue.
Reports confirm that the U.S. Marshal has since been released from the hospital after being shot during the incident. Authorities state that Wiley barricaded himself inside an apartment and fired upon law enforcement, critically wounding the deputy.
The United States Department of Justice has reported that Wiley faces serious charges including:
– Using, Carrying, and Discharging a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence
– Felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition
Court documents reveal Wiley’s extensive criminal history, which includes prior convictions for felonious assault, domestic violence, and aggravated robbery. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years for some counts and potentially life in prison for the most severe charges.
The U.S. Marshal was quickly transported to University Hospitals by another law enforcement vehicle. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived shortly after but were not needed for the initial transport. The Marshal was discharged the following day, underscoring the immediate danger faced by law enforcement during the operation.
After the shooting, Wiley remained barricaded for several hours before surrendering to authorities. The situation highlights the increasingly perilous conditions faced by federal officers in the line of duty.
As this case moves forward, legal experts suggest that the court will consider multiple factors in determining Wiley’s sentence, including his previous criminal record and the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
