New homeowners in the Detroit suburb of Trenton were tidying up the backyard of their new home. When they made a discovery you don’t find every day.

The house at the 5500 block of Wilson Street was recently owned by a man who died in a shootout with police in Tennessee.

The Trenton Police immediately called the Michigan State Crime Lab. The Michigan State Police immediately dispatched a mobile crime lab.

The Michigan State Crime Lab also confirmed at the skull found in the fire pit was human.

Voss stated:

He (Eberly) lived there with a female, and we’re trying to locate her.

Eberly had a few run-ins with Trenton police.

Eberly listed himself as homeless after a brush with the law in Tennessee for driving with a revoked license.

Cumberland County Deputy Tim Tutor pulled Eberly over a few days later. Eberly suddenly opened fire when Deputy Tutor approached the Eberly. Thus, shooting the officer in the upper chest area.

Deputy Tutor was wearing a bulletproof vest. Thus, he was not seriously injured.  He was able to return fire. Thus, killing Eberly.
