MOUNT CLEMENS — Steve Tocco, a 44-year-old Mount Clemens man, is now dead after his 22-year-old neighbor attacked him with a golf club.
The dispute occurred during the evening hours of Aug. 14 when the men got into a dispute over an undetermined matter related to the suspect’s dog, said Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel. Both lived in an apartment complex located on Comet Street in Mount Clemens.
According to Hackel, after the argument, the suspect, Alberto Barajas-Enriquez, left his apartment, removed a golf club from his truck, entered Tocco’s home without permission, and struck him several times.
Tocco placed a 911 call at 6:50 p.m. that day, explaining what had occurred.
“The victim called us and said that he had been struck by his neighbor and said that he had a head injury,” Hackel said.
Tocco was immediately taken to Mount Clemens Regional Hospital.
Barajas-Enriquez was immediately arrested and charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm and home invasion. Bond was set at $20,000, but there was also an immigration hold on Barajas-Enriquez, so he remained in jail.
However, on the afternoon of Aug. 17, the Sheriff’s Office received a call from the hospital revealing that Tocco had died due to blunt-force trauma to the head.
Barajas-Enriquez, who is expected to be arraigned by Aug. 20 at the earliest, has now been charged with second-degree murder.
