An assistant U.S. attorney prosecuting a gang of white supremacists for racketeering and murder in Texas has withdrawn from the case citing "security purposes," just days after the second of two state prosecutors was killed in his home.

The assistant U.S. attorney assigned to the case Jay Hileman filed a notice to withdraw from the case with the court, and on Tuesday sent an email about his decision to the defense lawyers representing 34 indicted members of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas .

Another source familiar with the message told ABC News it is "abundantly clear" Hileman is stepping down because of security concerns.

Thirty-four Aryan Brotherhood of Texas members were indicted in Houston in November for crimes including racketeering, drug distribution and kidnapping. Ten members potentially faced the death penalty as prosecutors accused them of ruthless violence, including ordering hits on rival gang members.
