Suspect named in Randolph home invasion

Winchester police have publicly identified a man they believe was shot after forcing his way into a local home, but formal criminal charges in the case have not been filed.

According to police reports, Vincent Osborne, 28, Geneva, was shot in the left hand after entering a home in the 200 block of West Orange Street about 6 p.m. on Feb. 10.

Police were called to a report of a burglary in progress at the address, and arrived to find a man, later identified as Osborne, fleeing on foot.

Officers gave chase, and eventually subdued Osborne by using a Taser gun, sending an electrical charge into the suspect's body.

Authorities then determined Osborne was suffering from a gunshot wound in his left hand. He was taken to St. Vincent Randolph Hospital for treatment.

Police released details of the apprehension on Feb. 13, but at that time declined to release the suspect's name.

The police detective assigned to the case has recommended Osborne be charged with residential entry, battery with injury and resisting law enforcement. However, the Randolph County prosecutor's office had not filed formal charges as of Friday.

Osborne is reportedly a former Winchester resident. Court records don't reflect any previous charges against him in Randolph County courts.
