Slaying suspect to be extradited

MISSOULA — A transient accused of torturing and fatally shooting a man in Missoula is expected to be extradited to Montana this week to face charges.

Kevin Joseph Lino, 27, was arrested in Shreveport, Louisiana, in August for the July 30 death of 36-year-old Gilbert Barry. Lino is expected to appear in court by Friday on charges of deliberate homicide and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Prosecutors say Barry was beaten and gang symbols were cut into his skin. Lino is accused of urinating on the man and shooting him in the head at an encampment under a Missoula bridge.

Barry’s body was then dumped into the Clark Fork River.
