Man charged in violent Sammamish home invasion

Four men are believed to have broken into a Sammamish home and shot a man in the early hours of Feb. 13.

SAMMAMISH, Wash. — One suspect has been arrested and charged in connection with a shooting during a Sammamish home invasion on Feb. 13. 

As of Feb. 16, three other suspects believed to be involved had yet to be identified or arrested.

Rickey Delisle Haines, 38, faces charges of assault and burglary in the first degree after he and three other men broke into a Sammamish home and exchanged gunfire with one of the residents.

According to charging documents, Haines and three other suspects approached the front door of a Sammamish home and covered the Ring camera positioned in the entryway. The owner of the home observed the front door being kicked down and said the suspects fired at him as he ran past the front door toward his bedroom.

The owner's son saw the men enter and told police he shot the second one that came through the door. One suspect then shot back at him, hitting the resident twice. The suspects then fled, and police say a black sedan was observed on camera leaving the scene at a high rate of speed just after 12:30 a.m.

Haines was checked into Valley Medical Center at approximately 12:54 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds in the back, which he told hospital staff at the time happened while he was sleeping.

Forensic analysis later confirmed that a bullet recovered from Haines at the hospital was matched to one fired by the resident's gun.

A woman who Haines was living with also owned a black Honda Accord, which was observed at Valley Medical Center in the parking lot.

A bail amount of $2,000,000 was requested by King County Prosecutors due to the violent nature of the incident and the defendant's criminal history, which includes nine felony convictions.
