Leon Jordan murder case re-opened

The Kansas City Police Department has been using the shotgun that killed Freedom Inc. founder Leon Jordan as a service weapon for the last 33 years.

That revelation comes from a press release sent this morning by KCPD spokesman Capt. Rich Lockhart regarding the re-opening of Jordan’s unsolved murder case. The decision precipitates from renewed interest in Jordan’s assassination — described in this recent article in The Kansas City Star — and the police department’s discovery of the shotgun and partial fingerprints from the murder scene.
