The Clark County coroner’s office on Tuesday identified a man killed during a suspected home invasion.
Charles Franklin, 39, died from a gunshot wound of the torso, according to the coroner’s office.
Franklin was shot early Friday morning on the 1000 block of North Oak Tree Lane. Police said a resident was home alone when he shot a man he suspected was breaking in.
The resident, a man in his 50s, was not arrested or charged in the killing. He told police a second man was involved, but it remained unclear if police had identified a second suspected burglar.
