A member of the Thunderguards motorcycle club will remain in jail while awaiting trial for the murder of 36-year-old Anthony Martin after he allegedly shot the victim while at a memorial for another club member.

Eric Byrone Kibler and his defense attorney, Tony Garcia, appeared before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey M. Geller on Nov. 1 to reassess the District Court’s decision denying the defendant bail in early October. Kibler is currently facing 47 charges, including multiple counts of first-degree murder, attempted first and second-degree murder and first and second-degree assault as well as conspiracy and additional weapons charges.

The prosecutor informed Judge Geller that the club was holding a memorial for one of its members on the 1300 block of North Spring Street on Aug. 18. As members were placing traffic cones in the street, a nearby neighbor moved one of the cones so she could park her car. An argument between several members and the woman ensued when her son—later identified as Martin—came to the scene and fired one gunshot into the air.
