Man Charged With Beating Death
January 25, 2015
A man is being held in the Escambia County Jail after being arrested Saturday on a homicide charge by Pensacola Police.
Kenneth Salter, 69, no permanent address, was charged in connection with the murder of Winston D. Smith, 73, of the 900 block of Bayou Boulevard. Smith died Thursday afternoon in a local hospital.
Sgt. Kristin Brown said Smith had allowed Salter to stay in his house for awhile and that the men got into an argument January 12 when Smith told him he had to move out. Brown said that during the argument, Salter struck Smith several times in the head with an object and then left the residence.
Smith’s son found him injured in the home on Tuesday and called for an ambulance to take his father to the hospital. Police were notified about the incident on Wednesday. Detectives Jonathan Thacker and Chad Willhite developed Salter as a suspect during the investigation. Salter was found Saturday morning in a vacant house in the 400 block of West Jackson Street.
