Authorities have charged eleven individuals from the Las Vegas chapter of a motorcycle club with racketeering, following a broader inquiry into a shooting incident and cocaine trafficking, as reported by the 8 News Now Investigators.
According to prosecutors, the Lone Mountain Chapter of the motorcycle gang is based in North Las Vegas. On Friday, a grand jury in Clark County handed down indictments against 11 individuals, among them the leader of the club.
A detective probing the case informed a grand jury, “They are the outlaws.” “They challenge the norm and defy societal expectations.”
On June 24, 2023, it was reported that multiple club members purportedly discharged firearms at an individual in a vehicle near the clubhouse. According to documents, the victim, unharmed by the gunfire, had previously loaned his car to a woman. The man expressed his disapproval of her driving with other men. On the day of the incident, the man observed the woman driving alongside two male passengers, one of whom was affiliated with the Dirty Ones. A man instructed a woman to stop after she allegedly collided with the side of his vehicle.
According to police, the man pursued the woman to the motorcycle gang’s clubhouse just before the shooting occurred. A man reported to the authorities that he was encircled by a gang of bikers, prompting him to accelerate and flee the scene. The bikers reportedly opened fire on the vehicle as it sped away. Authorities reported that at least one bullet struck the vehicle.
Following the incident, multiple gang affiliates reportedly cleared the scene of shell casings and weapons, according to the documents. A witness reported to authorities that several members of the group were firing at the vehicle, yet none of them managed to halt it. One observer described the incident as akin to a “fireworks display.
Furthermore, various members of the club face allegations related to the trafficking and distribution of cocaine, according to the documents.
