Fugitive in 1969 Slayings Surrenders
A fugitive convicted of conspiracy in the 1969 murders of two Black Panthers surrendered Friday to FBI agents, 20 years after escaping from prison.
Larry Joseph Stiner, 45, turned himself in at the U.S. Embassy in Suriname and was being flown to Miami, FBI spokesman Paul Miller said.
Stiner and his brother, George Phillip Stiner, 47, were convicted of conspiracy to commit murder in the Jan. 17, 1969, shootings of two Black Panthers on the UCLA campus, Miller said.
The brothers were given life terms and sent to San Quentin, but walked away from a minimum security area on March 30, 1974, Miller said. George Stiner remains a fugitive.
Larry Stiner was expected to be returned to California soon, Miller said.
