EVERETT -- Officials Thursday released the name of a man who died earlier this week during a confrontation south of Everett.

Dylan Thomas Jones, 23, of Everett, died Tuesday in the 400 block of 117th Street SE, according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.

The medical examiner lists the cause of death as asphyxia due to compression of the neck, and the manner of death as homicide.

Snohomish County sheriff's detectives are investigating, sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said. No arrests have been made.

Jones was reportedly wrestled to the ground by a 67-year-old Everett homeowner before his death. The homeowner alleged that the young man was trying to steal a outboard motor.
