Cincinnati police say a Madisonville homeowner shot and killed a possible suspected burglar. Police went to 6615 Roe St. about 1 p.m. Saturday for a possible burglary-in-progress call. They said a resident in the house fired at least one shot, killing the suspected burglar. First responders located the victim and transported him to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. The victim has now been identified as Tyrone Frazier, 34. The case is under investigation as a homicide. No charges have been filed. A next-door neighbor said she heard a gunshot and looked out her window to see a man lying in the front yard.“They started doing CPR on him and they did that all the way to the ambulance,” Marlene Smith said. Police say Tyrone Frazier, 34, was killed after possibly attempting to break into the home. Smith, who knows the couple next door, was shaken up. “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 said. Others in the neighborhood came home, surprised to see the homicide unit collecting evidence on their street. “Just 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,” neighbor Ian Jansen said. “It's surprising that it took place in this neighborhood, especially in the daytime,” neighbor Dave Kappesser said. Investigators questioned the homeowner and continue to work to piece together 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,” Smith said. WLWT reached out to the family at the home where the homicide happened, but they declined to comment. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 352-3040.
