Last week a suspect in the killing of the head of Colorado’s department of corrections died in a shootout with police in Texas.

Authorities are investigating whether any of the cases may be linked.

No arrests have been made over Mark Hasse’s killing but police are reportedly looking into a link between his death and the killing on March 19 of Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements.

Speaking of the latest killing, Kaufman Police Chief Chris Aulbaugh told the Dallas Morning News: “It is a shock. It was a shock with Mark Hasse, and now you can just imagine the double shock and until we know what happened, I really can’t confirm that it’s related, but you always have to assume until it’s proven otherwise.”

The lead suspect in Tom Clements’ shooting, Evan Spencer Ebel, died in a shootout with police in Decatur, around 85 miles from Kaufman, on March 21.

Evan Spencer Ebel, 28, was a former Colorado prison inmate and was linked to a white supremacist group in prison called the 211 Crew.

Kaufman County district attorney’s office had been one of several agencies involved in the investigation of two members of another white supremacist group on racketeering charges earlier this year.

Mike McLelland had previously had a 23-year career in the army, according the biography on his website, and had five children.
