TWO MEN CHARGED WITH FOUR COLD CASE HOMICIDES GANG

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Understanding Gangs. This podcast examined street and prison
gang structure and activity in the United States from the
perspective of law enforcement academics and former gang members. Let's
get start in three tests of defense. Few in a

(00:21):
pass tests on a beach. So today we're gonna be
looking at a new cold case that was seen to
be solved. Here the men were charging Two men were
charging connection with at least four killings that stretched back
as far as two thousand and two. San Francisco Dia
alleged one of the killings was committed for a criminal
street gang was an active street terrorism. The suspects are
scheduled to be a reign in the San Francisco Hall

(00:43):
of Justice. So the individual Seawn Britton was forty eight
years old, was charged one count of murder and a
forty four year old by the name of Sontec Harris
is also known as Sonech Kincaid, was charged with four
counts of murder. The cold cases are this. They were
alleged to to Britain and Harris shot Harry Bradstey brad
Street allegedly to death on January eighteen, two thousand and two.

(01:07):
The district Attorney's Office further alleged that Britain used a
nine millimeter Mac eleven assault firearm to kill brad Street
and at the murder was committed for a criminal street gang.
Harris's alleged role in the killing was not specified. Oakland
Police Department previously reported Bradstreet was robbed in Karjak before
being fatally shot while he was running away from the scene.
His car was also set on fire and abandoned in

(01:29):
the Oakdale Housing Project on February twenty four, two thousand
and two. The DA alleges that a little over a
month later, Harris shot and killed Lorenzo Richards inside an
apartment complex from George Court in San Francisco. On July
twenty eighth of two thousand and two, Harris allegedly shot
and killed Gerald White. Sounds like a hitman for these guys,
who the SDFDA claimed was murdered in order to prevent

(01:51):
his testimony as a witness. The final alleged murder connected
to Harris occurred twenty years after the others. I doubt
that I'm sure he has others. Possibly on the night
of August ten, twenty nineteen, diedrich Whitley was fairly shot
outside a community center. Whitley died at a hospital at
Harris was arrested in connection to the killing three days later.

(02:11):
So there's four victims there. Now they may have finally
a case, whaterether gangulator or not. I'm sure their parents
want to know what happened to my son. And in
this case we see here the individuals as four of
them didrich Whitley, Gerald White, Lorenzo Richards, and Perry Bradstreet

(02:34):
with the four that have been killed. So an interesting
cold case podcast just because we don't usually get cold
cases and relations to gangs and their shootings. Usually the
gangs are pretty tight lipped, so this was an interesting
one indeed,
