Simultaneously, the other suspect, later identified as Nathaniel Burns, 35, AKA Sekou Odinga, hid under the wheel well of a parked truck.

Nathaniel Burns, 35, AKA Sekou Odinga
Could be...I dont know how common the name Odinga is, but the fact that he was in this militant alliance raises some interesting questions. It's quite cast of characters: William Kunstler (AP) The next day when defense attorney William Kunstler was asked why his client wore a vest and was carrying several guns, Kunstler replied: "He is a black living in Brooklyn. Carrying a 9 mm and wearing a bulletproof vest shows careful planning for the possibilities."

“My name is Sekou Mgobogi Abdullah Odinga. I am a Muslim and a POW. I was born in Queens, N.Y., on June 17, 1944. I was raised in a family of nine — Father, Mother, three brothers, and three sisters. I was kicked out of school in the tenth grade for defending myself against an attack by a teacher...

...Sekou Odinga is imprisoned for actions carried out in the fight for Black Liberation. He is also a New Afrikan POW. In 1965 Sekou joined the Organization for Afro-American Unity (OAAU), founded by Malcolm X. After Malcolm’s death the OAAU was not going in the direction he wanted and in 1967 he was looking at the BPP. In early 1968 he helped build the Bronx BPP. On January 17, 1969 the police killed two Black Panthers, and a fellow NY Panther, who was in police custody, was brutally beaten. Sekou was informed police were searching for him in connection with a police shooting. Rather than face possible death as many of his comrades had in custody, Sekou joined the Black underground with the BLA. He remained underground partaking in revolutionary clandestine activity for 12 years until his capture. Upon being captured he was charged with 6 counts of attempted murder of police, among a litany of other charges that included the liberation of Assata Shakur from prison and expropriation of an armored truck. He is serving consecutive 25 life state time and a 40 year federal sentence. Currently in Lompoc, CA, Sekou is continually harassed by prison administration with mail and visiting regulations.

(just another victim of racism...sarc.)
