54-year-old Daniel White had just opened up his pawn shop Tuesday morning when police say he was shot and killed. The three suspects are still on the run.
Investigators searched the license plate and discovered it was registered to Henry Powell who was found dead on January 18.
On January 20, Dallas police were called to Powell's east Dallas apartment to find the residence was burglarized, and Powell's vehicle was missing.
Dallas police said Wednesday there was no sign of homicidal violence in connection to Powell's death.
17-year-old Denyrion Skinner, 19-year-old Damonta Skinner and 18-year-old JaTevon Johnson have all been charged with capital murder in the case.
The arrest affidavit notes that all three suspects entered the passenger side of the Ford Escape and that the vehicle is moving before the rear passenger enters the SUV.
The officer notes that it indicated that a fourth person was likely driving the vehicle.
White was 54 years old and had worked at the family business since he was 16.
