‘He was pleading for his life.’ Registered sex offender charged in shooting death of fleeing boy in Harrisburg
The Blaze ^ | 9/1/20 | Sarah Taylor

Posted on 09/01/2020 2:07:41 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

A teenage boy who was shot and killed Saturday afternoon in Harrisburg was fleeing, naked, from a registered sex offender who is now facing criminal homicide charges, a witness said Sunday morning.
“He was pleading for his life,” Tracy Burton recalled. She and several of her neighbors witnessed the slaying Saturday, and as police continue to investigate, neighbors are left wondering just how this happened in their otherwise quiet neighborhood. Orlando P. Duarte, 45, of Harrisburg, is facing charges of criminal homicide and prohibited possession of a firearm. The shooting happened around 1 p.m near 18th and Forster streets. Police said Sunday that they responded to the scene for a call of shots fired. When they got there, residents directed them toward the area where the suspect fled.

After a chase, police said, they took Duarte into custody. Investigators said witnesses told them that Duarte, armed with a handgun, was chasing a juvenile, who police did not identify. Police said witnesses told them Duarte fired several shots at the boy, who was taken to a nearby hospital and died a short time later.

Duarte had a handgun on him when he was arrested, police say. Burton, who called 911, said she was on her porch when she saw the boy running naked and turning to cut between houses. Duarte was pursuing him, she said. As she and other neighbors made their way toward the houses, they could hear the boy yelling “help me,” which was soon followed by gunshots, she said. The boy continued to yell “help” as the gunshots rang out. They stopped approaching when they heard the shots, she said. Between those houses was a white fence, which trapped the boy. Burton counted five shots, she said. A Harrisburg television station identified the boy as 16-year-old Kyan King. His family held a memorial at the scene Saturday night and remembered Kyan as smart and sweet and having a goofy laugh, reports indicate.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Kyan’s family with the funeral expenses. Duarte had been added to Pennsylvania’s Megan’s Law registry in November 2015 for involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and is listed as a lifetime sex offender.

According to online court records, Duarte — who police said lived a block from a charter school, a day care and the Harrisburg School District’s administration building — was sentenced in 2012 to four to eight years in prison and 10 years of probation on charges that include involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, aggravated indecent assault of a child, aggravated indecent assault without consent, indecent assault of a person less than 13, unlawful contact with a minor and corruption of minors. And in 2008, he was sentenced to six to 23 months of confinement and probation after pleading no contest to charges of simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, indecent assault of a person less than 16 and disorderly conduct. In that case, he was sentenced to six to 23 months of confinement with a lengthy probation sentence, court records indicate. Duarte is now in Dauphin County Prison without bail.

The press always bites their nails and wonders how it happened. This guy should be dismembered. We haven’t had a working death penalty since Earl Warren. It is barely used and is far too humane.

Is that the interstate trucker who killed women in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and tried to kill a teenager in Massachusetts?

If so, that was Adam Leroy Lane, arrested in Chelmsford, MA in July 2007, when he tried to abduct a 16-year-old girl from her home after breaking in to the house; she was saved by quick action on the part of her parents.

There is at least one YT video about that case. The husband of one of the Pennsylvania victims was prosecuted for her murder, IIRC.

"...the other is that neighbors didn't interevene and prevent the murder..."

The emerging reality is that in contemporary legal conditions it might be more pragmatic to just quietly close and lock all doors.
A person who engages might have their name paraded around, be doxxed, lose their employment, and house burned...when they could just close the door.

Child rapists really should be one and done, put on an island somewhere with the rest of the convicted child rapists.

Not tortured.

Not beaten.

Not raped themselves.

Not starved.

Treated humanely but just separated from all of civlized society for the rest of their natural lives.

One and done. No more stories about how “registered sex offender”. Throw away the key. They can grow food, make cloths, watch cable TV and watch kiddie porn on the internet. On an island locked up for the rest of their lives.

One and done.

If the dead boy had fought back, the BLM folks would have accused him of murder, like they did when the 17-year-old fought off HIS registered sex offender attacker.

Go to the blaze site then look at the video of the urban terrorist hitting a guy in the head with a brick.

Arming up doesn’t help. We need sniper swat teams to take out the trash.

But Tom Wolf is the governor of Pennsylvania. So Orlando Duarte will not be executed. Instead he will get three hots and a cot for the rest of his life. All courtesy of Pennsylvania taxpayer

One of Tommie the Commie's first acts as Governor was to declare an indefinite moratorium on the death penalty.

One of his next acts was to appoint Dr. DIY Dickless aka Rachel Levine as Health Secretary.

A rape of a child deserves the death penalty,

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Wolf appoints him to a cabinet post.

And all the nasty sex he wants, as well. Hope he gets solitary for the next 50 years.

Yup, totally hear you. Your post makes sense to me.

I can also envision how law-abiding normal folks might choose to not be involved if they see a couple of naked guys running around outside and shooting guns.

Yet another example of a democrat idea that fails miserably. The other is that neighbors didn’t intervene and prevent the murder. It’s all about turning a blind eye and let the police handle it.

They are probably terrified of guns.

I REPEAT:There are 2 groups of criminals that no amount of money or therapy will change....

Sex offenders of all kinds

Arsonists

Just kill them from the first offense & be done with them.
