Seven people were apprehended and one man is still wanted by authorities in connection with the fatal shooting of a 72-year-old man during a burglary in Prairie Township earlier this year, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.
On February 8, about 10:40 p.m., deputies arrived to the 200 block of Postle Boulevard for a report of a deceased person inside a home. Deputies then discovered 72-year-old Harold Moore with a gunshot wound to his head. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
The sheriff’s office stated that detectives discovered that various valuable items, including Moore’s vehicle, had been stolen from the home.
