Sources tell FOX31 Denver a car involved in a high-speed chase and shootout in Texas may be linked to both the shooting death of Colorado DOC director Tom Clements and the slaying of a Domino’s pizza delivery driver.
“We don’t know if it is or it is not connected” to the Clements slaying, Wise County Sheriff David Walker said during an afternoon news conference.
Sources, however, have told FOX31 Denver investigators are looking at a Clements connection, as well as one to the slaying of Nathan Leon, a Domino’s pizza delivery driver who was found dead in Golden. The source could only talk about the case anonymously because they are not allowed to speak publicly.
FOX31 Denver has separately confirmed that a Domino’s pizza box and uniform were found in the Cadillac involved in the Texas chase. Investigators said whoever killed Clements may have used a delivery driver disguise to convince him to open the door.
The driver in the Texas chase is believed to be Evan Ebel, 28, a parolee in the Denver area. Ebel has an extensive criminal history including convictions for assault, robbery and weapons violations. He is thought to be a member of a white supremacist prison gang.
I can’t wait to see how the rightwing blogosphere manages to play the victim card on this one. It’s their only real talent.
