Kawhi Leonard’s sister charged in deadly robbery of 84-year-old woman

The sister of reigning NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard is one of two women charged with the robbery and murder of an 84-year-old woman at a Southern California casino.

Kimesha Williams, 35, and another woman are accused in connection with the death of Afaf Anis Assad of Long Beach, California, according to the Riverside Press-Enterprise. Denise Woodard, who said she was Leonard’s aunt, confirmed the relationship for the newspaper.

On Aug. 31, Assad was found unconscious in a restroom at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif., and died Sept. 4 of “injuries sustained in the incident,” the Riverside County Sheriff’s office said.
