“At 5:25 a.m., the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a home invasion in progress at a rural Herrick address within Shelby County,” McReynolds said in a press release. “The suspect was identified as Wade M. Barnes, 19 years old, of Cowden. Barnes was known by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office due to prior involvements, including a current criminal case.”
During the break-in to the residence, Barnes was threatening the occupants. An occupant armed themselves and issued verbal warnings for Bames to stop, according to McReynolds.
“Barnes continued into the residence, ignoring the warning,” McReynolds said. “Shots were fired in the direction of Barnes, striking him. EMS was dispatched. EMS transported to Good Shepherd Hospital, in Shelbyville, where he succumbed to his injuries, and was pronounced deceased at 7:16 a.m.”
According to online court records, Barnes was charged on Oct. 9 with aggravated fleeing from a police officer, possessing a firearm without a FOID card, transporting liquor by a driver under 21, damage to property greater than $300 and operating an uninsured vehicle. His next court appearance was scheduled for Nov. 20.
