Do you know who murdered 18 year old Hassan Burnett in 2012? On an April day in 2012, the life of 18-year-old Hassan Jabree Burnett was tragically cut short in Kokomo, Indiana. The young man, a male, was the victim of a fatal shooting on April 13th of that year. His body was discovered near the intersection of 300 East and 100 North in Howard County, a grim finding that marked the beginning of a protracted and unresolved homicide investigation.
In the immediate aftermath of the discovery, law enforcement officials began their work, seeking to
piece together the events that led to Burnett's untimely death. Despite their efforts, no immediate arrests were made in connection with the shooting. The case, which was part of a wider trend of violence in the Kokomo area at the time, quickly grew cold, leaving a family to grieve and a community with unanswered questions. In the years that followed, Hassan's case has remained one of Kokomo's unsolved homicides, a stark reminder of a life taken too soon.
While the investigation into Hassan Burnett's murder has remained stagnant, the name Burnett has appeared in other unrelated criminal cases in Kokomo. These incidents, however, have not been publicly linked to Hassan's death, and his case officially remains unsolved. Authorities continue to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough and bring closure to his family. Funeral services were held for Hassan at Crown Point Cemetery, where a Janazah Prayer was led by Brother Osman Mosa, and he was laid to rest.
