YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTwenty-seven years ago, a 73-year-old man was murdered when he walked in on a burglary at his Pontiac home.
According to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, Charles Barnett surprised a burglar who was in his home on Corwin Street on April 30, 1998. This burglar shot Barnett and then fled the scene.
The case went cold, but it was reopened in 2020 by Oakland County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Todd Hunt and retired Lt. Steve Toy, who reviewed the evidence and linked a man to the case.
According to authorities, that man is 45-year-old Jack Anthony Young, who was 18 when he allegedly broke into Barnett's house and killed the man. He then allegedly stole Barnett's vehicle and crashed it shortly after before fleeing the crash scene. The vehicle led authorities to Barnett's home, where they found him dead.
