Exercising the Right

Daring Daytime Burglary

WLWT reported out of Cincinnati, on March 19 about a home intruder who didn’t make it very far with his plans to burglarize a Madisonville home. The incident occurred shortly after noon, when police received a call of a possible burglary in progress. The first responders who arrived on the scene discovered 34-year-old Tyrone Frazier lying in the front yard with a gunshot wound. He was transported to a nearby medical facility, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Investigators are still collecting evidence, but police believe Frazier might have been attempting to break in to the house when he was shot one time by the home’s occupant.

Next-door neighbor Marlene Smith described what she saw to WLWT: “They started doing CPR on him and they did that all the way to the ambulance.” Smith expressed surprise about what happened and said that the homeowners were model neighbors. “It was a little upsetting. I mean they’re very good neighbors. We’ve been neighbors for over 18 years so they’re very good neighbors.” Smith remained confused about what happened. “I don’t have any idea. I don’t. That’s why it’s just, it hasn’t really hit me. But I have no idea.”

Neighbor Ian Jansen told WLWT that he came home and “saw a couple of vans parked out front, crime unit van and a couple of police officers. That’s about it. We were kind of surprised to see all of the commotion across the street.”
