Young Man Hit by Car and Killed in Stamford New York
Stamford NY-- Nineteen year old Brett Barnett was killed on September third at five am when he was hit by a driver on Rt 10 after he left a party highly intoxicate and passed out in the middle of the road.
Barnett was last seen leaving a house party down the road from the incident. He allegedly left the party around 3 am to walk home. Around 5 am the police were said to have gotten a call from an anonymous person who had been driving down Rt. 10 and claimed they had hit Barnett. The caller however did not stop to help the young man. Barnett was found dead when the cops arrived to the scene.
Michaela Murphy, a fellow student and friend of Barnetts, was at the same party and discovered the death of her friend upon leaving for work the next morning.
“I went to get in my car around six am when I saw a lot of commotion right up the road. I walked up the street to see what was going on and a police officer informed me that a young man named Brett had been hit and they informed me on what had happened. I could see from where I was standing that he had tire marks on his front side, however his face was unrecognizable.”
According to friends of Barnett’s, he was said to have struggled in school and had a dysfunctional family life.
“He did have his struggles growing up. He really wanted to turn his life around and make something better of himself despite his past. He was a great friend and fellow team mate. He will be missed greatly.” said Gavin Patrick Boyle, a friend of Barnett’s as well.
Barnett had just finished his first week at SUNY Delhi where he was pursuing a business degree. He was said to have been a well accomplished and versatile athlete. Information regarding funeral services has yet to be released.
