Leon Jordan killing: Was it a mob hit?

After 40 years, could we finally have the answer to who killed civil rights activist Leon Jordan? The Kansas City Star reported yesterday that, of course, the mob had Jordan killed.

Here’s the story that local civil rights advocate Alvin Sykes gave the Star (and he should know because he’s been briefed twice by police): Mob boss Nick Civella signed off on Jordan’s killing, “which allegedly was carried out by black assailants connected with Joe

Centimano, a low-profile mob associate.”
