UNCLASSIFIED • (U) According to open source reporting, in March 2014, two Hells Angels members sought medical treatment for stab wounds sustained during an altercation with Mongols members on a freeway near Temecula, California. The injured Hells Angels members were not willing to cooperate with law enforcement or say who was responsible for their injuries. 42 (U) Source: ATF (U) Support patch for Hells Angels, represented by the number 81, and the Red Devils, represented by the number 184. • (U) In September 2014, several Outcast Motorcycle Club members arrived at the Showstoppers Motorcycle Club clubhouse in Birmingham, Alabama, and opened fire, killing members of the Wheels of Soul and Showstoppers. 40 (U) OMGs have a well-earned reputation for violence, so witnesses are often reluctant to testify for fear of retaliation. Thus, unless an OMG commits a homicide or an assault that requires hospitalization, OMG violence frequently goes unreported to law enforcement. • (U) In March 2015, members of the Wheels of Soul and Bandidos engaged in a gunfight at a restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although a Wheels of Soul member was shot and sustained non-life-threatening injuries, he was not willing to talk to police about the incident. 41 (U) OMGs engage primarily in violent crimes, such as assault, robbery, and homicide. According to survey respondents, weapons possession; threats and intimidation; assault; and drug trafficking were the most common criminal activities committed by OMGs over the past two years. 43 The assaults and robberies were often directed at rival gangs or individuals involved in other criminal activities like drug trafficking. Methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana ranked respectively as the top three drugs that led to OMG arrests over the past two years. (U) Trends (U) Over the past several years, there has been reporting of OMG members retaining employment in various white-collar professions. Accordingly, many OMG members are business owners. Most survey responses report that a preponderance of businesses owned by OMG members involve manual labor, which perpetuates the myth that OMGs are typically blue-collar workers. Based on survey responses, businesses owned by motorcycle gang members predominately involve the service industry, such as motorcycle repair shops and tattoo shops. 44 In some instances, OMGs use their businesses to facilitate criminal activity. 26 National Gang Intelligence Center UNCLASSIFIED
