Man arrested in Hartranft gun slaying

Police have arrested a Belmont man for the gun slaying two weeks ago of a Hartranft man.

Raymond S. Latane, 27, of Preston Street near Fairmount Avenue, was jailed without bail pending a July 8 preliminary hearing in the June 10 death of Rasheen Broadnax, 31, of 9th Street near Huntingdon, said Officer Christine O'Brien, a police spokeswoman.

Police responding to the area of 8th Street and Lehigh Avenue for a report of a person with a gun found Broadnax laying on sidewalk bleeding from gunshot wounds to his chin, neck and torso, O'Brien said. Paramedics rushed him to Temple University Hospital, where doctors declared him dead just after 10 p.m., O'Brien said.

No motive was listed.
