Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Jason Edward Barnes, 47, of Inkster, in connection with the fatal stabbing of Carles Randall Tye, 60, also of Inkster.
According to the prosecutor, Inkster police officers were dispatched at about 9:17 p.m. May 14 to a residence in the 30050 block of Annapolis Circle in response to a reported stabbing.

In court charges, it is alleged that Barnes stabbed the victim, fatally injuring him. It is also alleged that the defendant stabbed the victim's dog before fleeing the scene.
