KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police have connected two men to a white van seen speeding away from the scene of Kansas City attorney Tom Pickert's murder.
Police filed search warrant documents to swab for evidence inside a white Chevrolet van.
The van fits the description of the vehicle seen speeding away after Pickert was gunned down in front of his Brookside home on Oct. 25.
Witnesses say an older, gray-haired man parked the van in front of Pickert’s home that morning. The witness saw the man standing by the van and then get inside the driver’s seat.
Police say David Jungerman owns the van and also fits the witness’s description.
Police recovered the vehicle at a home in Raytown, where a man named Leo Wynne lives, in the same neighborhood as Jungerman’s home.
Wynne and Jungerman worked at Baby-Tenda, Jungerman’s company.
Jungerman is also a defendant in a civil lawsuit Pickert recently won. A jury decided Jungerman had to pay out nearly $6 million for shooting two homeless men seeking shelter outside his warehouse in 2012.
Jungerman shot two more men the next month for breaking into the warehouse to steal copper. Wynne is listed as a defendant in that case.
Police still haven’t named a suspect in Pickert’s murder.
