SECOND FUGITIVE WANTED FOR NEVADA MURDER ARRESTED IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA A man wanted for murder in Henderson, Nevada, was located and arrested Wednesday in San Bernardino, California, announced J. Stephen Tidwell, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI in Los Angeles. Timothy Burnside, 26, was arrested by members of the FBI's Inland Regional Apprehension Team (IRAT). Burnside and his alleged accomplice, Derrick McKnight, 28, were charged in the state of Nevada with murder, robbery with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery, in connection with the murder of Kenneth Hardwick in Henderson, Nevada. Last month, McKnight was arrested by members of the FBI's Los Angeles Fugitive Task Force at a bus station in Claremont, California. On December 5, 2006, victim Kenneth Hardwick, 45, was allegedly murdered during a robbery attempt by Burnside and McKnight. Hardwick had been waiting to order at a fast food restaurant drive-through window. Based on the state charges, a federal warrant filed in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas was obtained in February 2007, charging McKnight and Burnside with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution (UFAP). Recent investigation led to Burnside's approximate whereabouts in California and he was located and taken into custody on June 13, 2007. It is anticipated that the federal government will dismiss the federal warrant charging Burnside and that he will be transported from San Bernardino County to Nevada by detectives with the Henderson Police Department to face prosecution. The arrest of Burnside is a result of a joint effort by the FBI's Inland Regional Apprehension Team, which includes members from the FBI, Riverside Police Department, San Bernardino Police Department and the Riverside County Sheriff's Department; the FBI's Criminal Apprehension Team in Las Vegas; and the Henderson, Nevada, Police Department.
