Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal and District Attorney Larry Krasner announced the arrest a man who was sought in the 2020 slaying of a 31-year-old man in West Philly.
Burnett will be charged with murder, possession of an instrument of a crime and related offenses.
Krasner too noted the effectiveness of the city's most wanted list as a way to track down some of the individuals wanted in some of Philadelphia's most heinous crimes. "Phones lit up. Phones at the PPD, phones at the District Attorney's office lit up with people, who much like the general public, want to be safe and they want to make sure there is justice for victims and survivors of gun violence," said Krasner, noting that the list has helped increase tips to law enforcement.
So far, Krasner said, his office has highlighted 20 of the city's most wanted individuals in recent press conferences and, three people have been tracked down as a result of this attention. "Look, you don't want this smoke coming to your house. turn them in. You'll be safe and so will the citizens of this city," Bilal implored anyone who may be protecting individuals that remain wanted by police.
