Colorado authorities probing the killing of the state's prisons chief, who was shot at the door of his home last month, are seeking two members of a white supremacist prison gang in connection with the case, the Denver Post reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper, citing an official with Colorado's El Paso County Sheriff's Department, said the men being sought were members of the gang known as the 211 Crew and considered armed and dangerous.
Authorities have blamed the killing of prisons chief Tom Clements on white supremacist ex-convict Evan Spencer Ebel, who died in a roadside gun battle with police in Texas on March 21 after a high-speed chase.
Officials at the El Paso County Sheriff's Department could not be immediately reached for comment.
