Man Arrested In Pompano Vietnam War Veteran Murder
Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS

POMPANO BEACH (CBS4) ―

A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a South Florida Vietnam War veteran, who was robbed and murdered outside his business on January, said Broward Sherriff's Office Homicide detectives.


After a two-month investigation, detectives arrested 30-year-old Kino Bartholomew of Dania Beach in connection to the murder of 60-year-old Richard Entriken.

BSO investigators said Entriken was killed outside of his business, the First Step Sober House, shortly after he collected rent from the tenants on January 26.

Entriken and two business partners were leaving the building, a residential drug and alcohol treatment center, when they were approached by three men who robbed Entriken. After handing over the money, the suspects still shot Entriken in cold blood.


Police said the three suspects fled the scene in a dark blue or black compact, newer model, possibly 4-door, foreign-made vehicle with dark tinted windows. The suspects are believed to be in their late 20's to early 30's.

Entriken was a former Vietnam veteran who was awarded two Purple Hearts, and a Silver Star, leaves behind a legacy of hope. Entriken opened the recovery house dozens of years ago, he himself just celebrated 16 years of being sober in January.


Police continue the investigation.

Anyone with information on the robbery or suspects is asked to call BSO Homicide Detective Frank Ilarraza at (954) 765-4321 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at (954) 493-TIPS.

Last Step to Redemption

On Friday nights, the parking lot of an 18-unit apartment building in Pompano Beach fills with white plastic lawn chairs. The men who gather there seem, at first blush, to have nothing in common, displaying every look possible, from clean-cut preppy to gaunt heroin chic to sunburned construction...

SNIPPED OUT ACCOLADES
Chris Doherty was standing guard 20 feet away, on SW Second Street. Banas was positioned on the passenger side of Entriken's truck, just ten feet away. Banas saw three young black men wearing Rasta and ski hats jump out from a nearby hedge. The robbers didn't bother to cover their faces, and they were carrying guns.

One ran up to Richard Entriken, put a gun to his head, and said, "Hold it." As Entriken turned to face his attacker, his eyes seemed to say, What the heck are you doing? The young man pulled the trigger.

For Entriken's protégés on security detail, it was as if time stood still. Then bullets starting flying. Rounds whizzed past their legs and over their shoulders. Banas dove through a hole in a nearby bush, dirt from the bullets hitting his skin. The assailants fled with the cash.

Entriken was the only man shot. Chris Doherty ran to his friend and cradled his head in his hands. Blood was streaming like water from a hose. A fatal wound. For the several hundred men he had ushered into the fellowship of sobriety, it felt as if their JFK had been assassinated. This man, their leader, had overcome much adversity. He was their hero. Their idol. The man they all tried to emulate.

A few weeks later, police arrested Kino Bartholomew, a 30-year-old former client of 1st Step whom Entriken himself had shepherded to the program from the county courthouse, for allegedly planning the murder.

For residents, it was the ultimate betrayal: Entriken had persuaded a Broward judge to send Bartholomew his way in lieu of jail time. Courthouse regulars worried that the murder would put an end to the option of diverting nonviolent drug and alcohol offenders to rehab. The witnesses worried they'd be ambushed again, maybe even outside their own homes. The remaining directors at 1st Step worried that all their energy and effort combined could not fill the void created by Entriken's premature departure.
