Train victim identified as St. Joseph resident

The St. Joseph Police Department has identified 29-year-old Romino Burta as the man killed by a train Saturday afternoon.

Captain Jeff Wilson said Burta has been a St. Joseph resident since he started working at Triumph Foods.

Burta was killed Saturday after he tried to cross the railroad crossing near Illinois Avenue around 2:30 p.m.

Headphones were found at the scene of the accident but Capt. Wilson said it is not possible to confirm if those can be tied to why the incident took place.
