A white supremacist possibly connected to the murder of the head of Colorado's Department of Corrections Tuesday died from wounds sustained during a shootout with police in Texas Friday.

CBS News reported Friday that a 28-year-old man believe to be Evan Ebel, was pulled over by Montague County Sheriff's Deputy James Boyd. A source told CBS Station KTVT in Dallas-Fort Worth that as Deputy Boy approached the vehicle, the driver started shooting.

As a shootout ensued, the man believed to be Ebel fled the scene. Boyd was struck by three bullets. Officers from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Wise County Sheriff's Office and Decatur Police Department were then in pursuit of Ebel.

Tom Clements was the head of Colorado's Department of Corrections was shot and killed at his home in Monument, Colo.

The Denver Post reported Friday that Colorado officials are investigating whether Clements' murder was a hit ordered by white supremacist leaders.

CBS News reported that the speeds in the chase reached up to 100 mph.

Ebel crashed his Cadillac, but then continued to shoot at the officers.

Tarrant County Medical Examiner's spokesman Roger Metcalf told CBS News that an autopsy has begun on Ebel. His identity has yet to be made official because fingerprint analysis must be done first.

Ebel continued shooting at officers, even after crashing his older model Cadillac with Colorado plates in Decatur.

"After the suspect was struck by the 18-wheeler he exited the vehicle with a firearm and engaged our deputies in a firefight," Wise County Sheriff David Walker told CBS News. "None of the deputies were hit by any suspect shots. The suspect was hit as the deputies returned fire. He didn't plan on being taken alive," said Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins. "It didn't look like he wanted to be caught or taken alive."

Ebel was shot, wounded and brought to a local hospital, where he was on life support. He was taken off life support and died Friday.

Ebel is also alleged to be the killer of a Domino's deliver driver. Sources close to the investigation told KCNC that a Domino's shirt and pizza box was found in the back seat of the car.

Nathan Leon, 27, had gone missing Sunday while making deliveries for Domino's Pizza. Six hours later his body was found in Golden, Texas. He had been shot several times by an unknown person or persons.

Boyd was struck by three bullets; he was taken by air ambulance to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, where he is listed in serious condition but is expected to recover.
