A biker gang expert from the FBI testified Monday that law enforcement in New Mexico is preparing for a violent retaliatory attack by the Bandidos motorcycle club against rivals who shot and killed two of their members during a May 27 rally in Red River.

Bryan Acee, the senior agent on the Albuquerque FBI’s violent gang task force, said investigators believe the Bandidos instigated a “premeditated” campaign of violence at the annual Memorial Day weekend event by starting a fight with the Albuquerque-based motorcycle club called the Waterdogs. That fight turned deadly when one of the Waterdogs was fatally shot in the head, and two Bandidos were killed. Five others were wounded.

Acee testified that before the rally, a photo of the Waterdogs president standing with two members of the Mongols motorcycle club at a wedding made its way to social media. The Bandidos saw the photo and likely “felt disrespected,” Acee said.
