Escaped Suspect Captured

(Hillsboro, OR) -- A suspect in a murder trial escaped from the Washington County Courthouse Monday morning. The Washington County Sheriff's Office says Edi Villalobos was assigned two deputies. Under Oregon law, he can't be in restraints during court proceedings. He's accused of fatally stabbing a family member in Cornelius and stabbing a man in Clackamas County in 2021. After Villalobos ran from the courthouse, law enforcement descended on downtown Hillsboro. Villalobos was found at an apartment complex several blocks away and taken into custody without incident. The judge added charges of burglary and escape. His trial was canceled and will be rescheduled.
