Gordon “Casey” Powell Jr.

Gordon C. Powell Jr., 45, died May 18 [2]. He was serving a five year sentence for breaking through the glass door of distillery on North Tower Avenue and stealing liquor, and later tussling with a police officer last fall.

News reporter Diana Hefley writes that Benjamin Cory Price, 35, allegedly confessed to the attack, saying he’s been training as a government assassin since the age of 4.
