A man arrested during the chaos of this week’s Philadelphia looting was already facing charges in connection with an alleged assault that claimed the life of another man last year, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
Kenneth Frye is one of more than 50 suspected looters taken into custody after large groups wreaked havoc across the city, smashing storefronts and ransacking shelves to steal piles of stolen merchandise.
On Thursday, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office confirmed that their motion to have the third-degree murder charge reinstated was awaiting a decision by the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. They also said they would be seeking to revoke Frye’s bail in that case as his most recent arrest is a violation of bail conditions.
