LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say former Oakland Raiders defensive end Anthony Wayne Smith and two others have been charged with murder in the 2008 beating and shooting death of a 31-year-old man in northern Los Angeles County.
District attorney’s officials said in a statement that the 43-year-old Smith was scheduled to appear in court Friday.
The statement says Smith, 41-year-old Charles Eric Honest and 32-year-old Dewann Wesley White were charged last month with one count of murder in the killing of Maurilio Ponce in Lancaster. They were arrested earlier this week.
White also was set to be arraigned Friday. Honest’s arraignment has been postponed to March 17.
