Investigators said Ted Tilley fired the shots, then was killed by another detective.
Prosecutors said Wilder and three others were in the home making meth, a felony. Under the felony murder charges, each person assisting in the death is responsible when someone is killed during the commission of a felony.
The prosecution rested its case Friday after calling a total of 21 witnesses this week. The defense rested after calling two witnesses.
A motion for direct acquittal on the charges was denied, except for one. The charge of possession of a firearm by convicted felon was dismissed.
If convicted, Wilder faces life in prison.
