Black Militant Leon Dent Found Dead in Missouri Penitentiary
Leon Dent, 28, a former officer of the St. Louis Black Liberators, was found dead in solitary confinement at the Missouri Penitentiary in Jefferson City. Warden Donald Wyrick said he apparently hanged himself with a bedsheet, adding a letter began with Dear warden and then ended abruptly. Dent was serving a seven year sentence for assault with intent to do great bodily harm, with less than a year to serve before parole eligibility. He had been in solitary since last October after allegedly stabbing another inmate. In the 1970s he engaged in militant actions in Cairo and Til and pleaded guilty in 1970 to shooting a deputy sheriff, with concurrent 7 to 10 year sentences for attempted murder, aggravated battery, and conspiracy to shoot a police officer.
