Authorities arrested a member of a white supremacist gang linked to the killing of Colorado’s prisons chief, who was shot answering the door of his home last month.
James Lohr, 47, was arrested Friday by the Colorado Springs Police Department, Fox News confirms.
Lohr was wanted for questioning in the murder of Colorado Corrections Director Tom Clements. It’s unclear if Lohr has been charged.
Police continue to search for 31-year-old Thomas Guloee. Police consider him to be armed and dangerous with violent tendencies.
Authorities connected the two to Evan Ebel, who is suspected of killing Department of Corrections Director Tom Clements. Police say they are members of Ebel’s white supremacist prison gang.
Police say the two are not suspects but “persons of interest” in the killing.
Their names came up during the investigation into Clements’ death – the first official word that the 211 Crew might be involved.
Investigators are trying to determine whether Clements’ killing was an isolated attack or done at the direction of top members of the 211 Crew.
Authorities believe Lohr was in contact with gang associate Ebel days before the murders of Clements and pizza delivery man Nate Leon.
Police say they believe Ebel killed Leon and Clements before he was killed in a shootout in Texas. His motive in the killings isn’t clear.
According to the television station Lohr was arrested by Colorado Springs police after a short foot chase when police tried to stop a car.
