One of the six people shot in an Oklahoma saloon over the weekend was the chapter president of an outlaw motorcycle club who had been involved in another gunfight with the same gang almost exactly a year earlier.
Eric Oberholtzer, the suspected leader of the Homietos Motorcycle Club in Oklahoma City, was among three men who died in a clash of multiple gangs at the Whiskey Barrel Saloon on Saturday, according to authorities. Two other fatalities involved suspected Bandidos members or members of an affiliated group.
The Bandidos have long been on law enforcement’s radar. The Justice Department says the Bandidos describe themselves as outlaws. The group has an international presence with chapters in North America and Europe.
The Homietos, a lesser-known organization, have been involved in several incidents of public violence in recent years.
- Investigators believe the Bandidos instigated a “premeditated” campaign of violence
- Sixteen members of a Georgia motorcycle gang have been indicted on charges
