ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Former Villanova star and Ramsey County probation officer Howard Porter was trying to trade money and crack cocaine for sex with a prostitute when he was beaten to death, according to murder charges filed Tuesday against a St. Paul man.
Porter, 58, died May 26, a week after he was found unconscious in a Minneapolis alley.
Rashad Arthur Raleigh, 29, was arrested Sunday and charged Tuesday with second-degree murder. Raleigh was originally arrested in early June, but was released without being charged.
According to the criminal complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court, Porter accompanied a prostitute he had picked up to her apartment. She told police four masked men rushed in to her apartment, threw her to the floor and demanded drugs and money from Porter before beating him severely.
The woman told police Raleigh and another man had been at her apartment earlier that evening.
