Mother charged with murder
A mentally ill woman seen dropping her three sons into San Francisco Bay from a downtown pier was charged with three counts of murder Thursday while anguished relatives kept vigil and rescuers combed the chilly water for the bodies of two of the victims.
Lashaun T. Harris, 23, of Oakland, was held in a hospital jail ward after police saw her pushing an empty baby stroller away from the pier where a witness reported spotting a woman drop the children off the end Wednesday night.
The body of Harris’ middle child, Taronta Greeley, 2, was recovered late Wednesday near the St. Francis Yacht Club, about two miles from Pier 7. The other two boys – Treyshun Harris, 6 and Joshoa Greeley, 16 months – remained missing Thursday, but were presumed dead after so many hours in water with a swift current and temperatures in the low 50s.
