One of the men accused in the death of 18-year-old Baylee Wylie is now facing five additional charges.

Tyler Dominique Noel and Devin Morningstar, both 18, appeared in Moncton provincial court Monday morning.

Noel was previously charged with arson and first-degree murder in Wylie’s death while Morningstar has also been charged with first-degree murder.

Noel is now facing five additional charges, including possession of a firearm, unlawfully entering a dwelling house with the intention of committing an offence, possessing a .22-calibre rifle for a purpose dangerous to the public, two counts of possessing a .22-calibre rifle knowing that it was property obtained by crime and breaching a court order to not own, possess or carry any weapons.

Noel’s preliminary hearing is set for May 16.

Morningstar has been deemed fit to stand trial following a 30-day psychiatric evaluation. He has waived his right to a preliminary hearing.

Wylie’s body was found by firefighters inside a burned-out triplex in Moncton on Dec. 17. Police have not said how Wylie died, but have said he was the victim of an “extremely violent murder.”

Police are still looking for 20-year-old Marissa Shephard, who is wanted for first-degree murder and arson in Wylie’s death. A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for her arrest.

The RCMP released a video last month in an effort to track her down. The video contains additional photos of Shephard that demonstrate how easily she can change her appearance.

Shephard is described as a white female with brown eyes and brown hair. She is five-foot-five inches tall and weighs roughly 100 pounds.

She has a tattoo with the name “Stephen” on her neck and a tattoo of a crown on her chest.

Investigators are asking anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
