 (Above photo credit: FBI.Gov) Aliases: Rennie Hoskins, Renee Hoskins, Leonard Moses, Leonard R. Moses, "Lucky" DESCRIPTION Date(s) of Birth Used: August 25, 1952 Place of Birth: Shelby, North Carolina Height: 5'8" Weight: 150 pounds NCIC: W280458547 Hair: Black Eyes: Brown Sex: Male Race: Black Nationality: American Scars and Marks: Moses has a circular scar on the right side of his face near his eye. CAUTION Leonard Rayne Moses was serving a life sentence after having been convicted of first degree murder when he escaped the custody of law enforcement in 1971. On April 6, 1968, Moses and others threw Molotov cocktails at the house of a female victim in Homewood, Pennsylvania, during the "Pittsburgh Riots" that occurred following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As a result of burns received during the attack, and subsequent pneumonia, the victim inside the house died. Moses was convicted of first degree murder and given a life sentence. On June 1, 1971, Moses was permitted to attend the funeral of a close relative in Homewood. During the funeral, Moses escaped custody and has not been seen since. On July 12, 1971, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Moses in the United States District Court, Western District of Pennsylvania, after he was charged with unlawful flight to avoid confinement. --- Thoughts? I had never heard of this fugitive before until the FBI suddenly added him to their featured fugitives website. It looks like cold case investigators are trying to get new leads in this 44-year old manhunt and doing an age-enhanced photo is a great way to start. Sadly there doesn't seem to be much information on possible whereabouts, aside from Leonard Moses being from North Carolina.
Admin Note #1: According to FBI.Gov, If you have any information concerning Leonard Rayne Moses, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
Admin Note #2: If you have any news-related updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form

Dude, this was on my case schedule for the upcoming week. LOL.
I wonder if considering the aspects to this case if there was any political controversy and that is why this case wasn't more publicized. I absolutely feel black people in America are still not treated equally, but this woman didn't deserve to die either. And the violence and protests was ironically against everything Dr. King stood for. However, this may have been a sensitive subject to deal with in publicizing it.
Moses would be 63 years old if still alive, and while anything can happen in 44 years, he's more likely to be alive than dead. He could be dead of course, but I usually don't consider the odds greater than 50 percent until a fugitive is at least 70.
P.S. They were morons for allowing a CONVICTED KILLER to attend a funeral. They've denied guys who've done less the ability to go to their own parents funeral, let alone just a close friend.

This kind of surprised me because he was thought to be in Detroit or at least he was thought to have been but he was near flint

I’m amazed at how little he changed from the last known photo of him. He really doesn’t look too different.

Any updates? Haven’t seen any news on him since his capture and I can’t find him on the PADOC‘s website (probably because this was a juvenile crime.)
I hate to say this, but I do feel somewhat bad for this guy based on the circumstances. I can see why he would want to escape (he was 17 years old got life without parole) and there are many factors at play here. Did he throw the cocktail? Did he know someone was inside? Did he encourage his friends to throw cocktails? Did his undeveloped 15 year old mind know the risks of throwing cocktails?
