The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is still searching for 32-year-old Kevin Lee Thornburg for apprehension and questioning involving a home invasion that occurred at about 10:30 p.m. on Friday, April 23, on SE 250 in the Coal area.

The sheriff’s office says during the incident, the homeowner was shot by Thornburg before he fled the scene. The homeowner was transported by ambulance for medical treatment for the gunshot wound, and has subsequently been released from the hospital.

Thornburg currently is being sought on the felony offenses of first-degree assault, first-degree burglary, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.

A roadway shooting also occurred shortly after 10 p.m. on Friday along SE 450 near the intersection of SE Route U in the Coal area, in which the occupants of a vehicle traveling in the area were shot at several times from the occupant of another vehicle that pulled up alongside them. A minor injury was sustained by one victim in this incident, and their vehicle was damaged by the gunfire.

The suspect vehicle involved in this incident was described as a dark-colored pickup truck with a cattle guard, as well as a full-length white light bar on the truck.

Evidence collected at both scenes could connect these incidents after crime laboratory analysis; however these results are expected to be substantially delayed due to backlogged evidence awaiting to be processed at laboratories across the state.

Thornburg should still be considered armed and dangerous; and you should utilize extreme caution if you should come into contact with him for any reason.

If you have any information regarding the current location of Thornburg or investigative information regarding either of these incidents, you are urged to contact Henry County Central Communications at (660) 885-5587 or your local law-enforcement agency.
