While the SFPD continues to sort out the Kenneth Harding shooting-death case, Chronicle reports today that Harding's older brother Ondrell Harding is now wanted in connection with the beating death of a 50-year-old Seattle man. According to the Chronicle, the homicide occurred around 3 a.m. last Saturday morning and KTVU reports that the older Harding was booked late Monday night outside of Seattle.
In this latest killing connected to the Hardings, Seattle PD told the Chronicle the victim was "was beaten to death in front of his wife in his home in south Seattle." Before the shootout in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood that left Kenneth Harding dead, he was a suspect in the slaying of pregnant 19-year-old Tanaya Gilbert (also in Seattle) and serving parole for attempted prostitution of a minor.
You'll remember Kenneth Harding's mother went on record at a press conference in San Francisco on Monday, saying she is skeptical of SFPD's explanation of her younger son's death. The family is currently working with Adante Pointer, an associate of civil rights lawyer John Burris. Pointer commented on the latest developments by saying simply, "There's two sides to every story."
