The first occurred on July 28, 2020, when Burnett and his brother went to buy two cellphones arranged through OfferUp. They were directed to a spot near Adams Street and 21st Street. After deciding the meeting felt wrong and attempting to leave, their car was blocked by another vehicle and a man opened fire into their vehicle. Burnett was killed and his brother seriously injured. Investigators later tied the plot to fake online listings and identified Demetrius Campbell and Angel Montano as co-conspirators; Montano was named as the shooter.

A separate report describes a different fatal shooting of a man identified with the same full name and age on May 6, 2024, found with gunshot wounds after a single-car crash; investigators treated that death as a homicide and arrested a 26-year-old suspect who was already linked to another April homicide. It is unclear from the accounts how, or whether, these two reports relate to the same person.

If anyone knew Burnett or has information about either incident, please share what can help investigators or the family.
