In addition to criminal homicide, aggravated assault, access device fraud, abuse of a corpse, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and tampering with evidence in the Kunco case, Clemons faces burglary, robbery, theft and simple assault charges in connection with a home invasion in Canonsburg Jan. 8, 2012, and a charge of flight to avoid apprehension in connection with an alleged assault of Kunco in December 2011.
