Probable killer of Panama president linked to Fort Worth gangster
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that the late gangster Leroy Eggleston may have fired the machine gun that killed Panama's President Jose A. Remon Cantera last January. Private investigator Gaspar Bilo Mendez claims Eggleston was slain for failing to share a $20,000 cut, while a $15,000 share was also involved, and the gun’s serial number 3248F allegedly ties to the weapon smuggled into Panama. The Star-Telegram cites Los Angeles links and a pay-off history that led to Eggleston’s flight.
