A Bowling Green man and his sister have been indicted in connection with the shooting death of a 16-year-old.

Tylan Jermane Barnett, 22, was formally charged Wednesday by the Warren County grand jury with murder and tampering with physical evidence.

Barnett is accused of fatally shooting Jamarco Dye, 16, of Bowling Green on Jan. 26.

The Bowling Green Police Department arrested Barnett that same day.

Dye’s body was found in a grassy area behind an apartment building at 110 Audley Avenue.

Taylor D’Aisa Barnett, 27, of Bowling Green, was also indicted by the grand jury on a charge of tampering with physical evidence.

The indictment against Taylor Barnett does not specify what she may have done to commit the evidence tampering offense, saying that she “destroyed, mutilated, concealed, removed or altered physical evidence” believing that “an official proceeding is pending or may be instituted,” intending to impair the availability of the item of evidence.

BGPD investigated the homicide, along with a report of an attempted burglary earlier that night at Taylor Barnett’s apartment.

According to prior testimony from BGPD Detective David Grimsley, Tylan Barnett told police that he was at a movie theater when his sister called him shortly after 12 a.m., Jan. 26 and told him that someone had tried to get into her apartment earlier that night.

Tylan Barnett came to his sister’s apartment and stayed there, reportedly telling police he saw two people approach the apartment from the back, which led him to go out onto the back patio, Grimsley testified at a preliminary hearing in January in Warren District Court.

At that hearing, Grimsley said that Tylan Barnett told police that one of the people he saw ran away and was too far from Barnett for him to engage, so Barnett fire multiple shots at Dye from a distance of about 20 yards, saw Dye fall, walked near him and threw the gun into a nearby brush line.

Police recovered the gun along with 15 shell casings from the scene.

City police learned that Tylan Barnett then walked back into the apartment and took a shower, and officers recovered the clothes he wore, as well as an open bottle of bleach from near the shower, Grimsley said.

Police located the person who was with Dye outside the apartment, and that person told police that he and Dye had walked past the apartment on their way to a convenience store on the other side of the building.

Grimsley testified that the person who was with Dye denied that they were armed or attempting to break into any apartments.

A cell phone found near Dye’s body was recovered with a Facetime call still active, and police later questioned a 15-year-old who reportedly said he was on a call with Dye when he heard gunshots over the phone.

“(The 15-year-old) said he then heard a man’s voice make a derogatory statement to Mr. Dye and a final gunshot,” Grimsley said.

Tylan Barnett is in Warren County Regional Jail under a $1 million cash bond and is set to appear April 7 before Warren Circuit Judge Chris Cohron for arraignment.

Taylor Barnett has a $5,000 cash bond set in her case.
