Delbert "Shorty" Belton to receive full military honors at Thursday's funeral......

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The first of two memorials for World War II veteran Delbert Belton was scheduled for Thursday afternoon. 

Belton, 88, was beaten to death in the Eagle’s Lodge parking lot August 21. 

A public funeral planned for noon at Greenwood Cemetery will see Belton buried with full military honors.  Hundreds of people from around the region were expected to attend, as news of Belton’s murder has received national attention.

The local Patriot Guard planned to be on hand, as well, to help secure the event.  They hoped that would not be necessary but said they would be ready just in case.

Shorty's last ride.  RIP

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Police have arrested 16-year-old Kenan Adams-Kinard less than a week after the alleged beating death of World War II veteran Delbert Belton.

Authorities said Adams-Kinard was arrested just after 3:00 a.m. Monday morning in a basement apartment on West Montgomery Avenue and North Stevens Street without incident.

Police credited good investigative work and follow-up on dozens of tips that led to the arrest of the suspect less than a week after the alleged fatal beating.

Police said several other arrests were made with Adams-Kinard for charges of rendering criminal assistance.

Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub is expected to address the arrest later on Monday.
