wheelman

When Kinch was young, he confided in a later recording, he was a “wheelman,” slang for getaway driver.

He said Leasure was the wheelman for the killings outside the Sherman Oaks lounge and in the Highland Park beauty shop.

Gray agrees to serve as a wheelman for a criminal syndicate — this time, it's a Zimbabwean family known as the Tongais — but only for as long as it takes to get his close friend and his business out of trouble.

The former wheelman retired 18 years ago to run a luxury car service in New Orleans.

“He was one heck of a wheelman.”
