Warren Aloysious Kimbro (April
29, 1934 – February 3, 2009) was a Black Panther Party member in New Haven, Connecticut who was found
guilty of the May 21, 1969, murder of New York City
Panther Alex Rackley, in the first of the New Haven Black Panther trials
in 1970.[1] Kimbro had been a resident of the New Haven Panther headquarters at 365
Orchard Street, where Rackley was held and tortured for two days under suspicion
of being an informant for the FBI's COINTELPRO program. It was established at the trial that
afterwards, Kimbro, Bridgeport, Connecticut Panther Lonnie
McLucas, and national Panther field marshal
George W. Sams, Jr. had driven Rackley to the
marshes of Middlefield, Connecticut, where Kimbro and
McLucas had each shot Rackley, on Sams' orders. Sams testified that national
Panther leader Bobby Seale, who had been speaking at Yale
University the day before the murder, had personally ordered the
killing, but there was no corroborating evidence; the jury in Seale's
subsequent trial was unable to reach a verdict, and the prosecution chose not
to re-try the case. At
the trial, Sams and Kimbro both turned state's
evidence in exchange for the reduced charge of second degree murder, for which each
received the mandatory life sentence and served four years. In 1972,
Kimbro met with a parole board and was permitted to attend Harvard University's School of Education.In
1975, after only four years of his prison term Kimbro became the Assistant Dean
of Eastern Connecticut State University.
