| Texas report fingers prison gang for the murder of Colorado state official |
| 2016-05-30 |
| A white supremacist gang had Colorado's prison chief gunned down as the result of a convoluted murder plot, new documents claim. An investigative report obtained by The Denver Post sheds a new light on the March 2013 death of Tom Clements, the head of the state's department of corrections at the time. Evan Ebel, the only suspect in the case, who died two days later in Texas after a shootout with police, killed Clements as a way to redeem himself after a fallout within the 211 Crew, a white supremacist prison gang founded in Denver 20 years ago, the report states. Investigators say Ebel, who had been recently paroled at the time of Clements' death, exchanged hundreds of phone calls and text messages with 211 Crew members after his release from prison. Ebel wanted to redeem himself after a falling out with gang leader Ben Davis, an informant told investigators. Evan Ebel killed head of Colorado's department of corrections Tom Clements in March 2013 as part of a murder plot by 211 Crew, a white supremacist prison gang, an investigative report claims. The 77-page report, submitted in May 2013 by Texas Ranger James Holland, states what Colorado officials have so far not acknowledged: 'The murder of the Colorado Department of Corrections director was ordered by hierarchy of the 211 prison crew.' This is the clearest indication yet that more than one person was involved in the slaying. Much more at the link |
