   LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Three motorcyclists injured in a shooting on U.S. 95 in   
   2022 filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing a Henderson business of helping   
   Hells Angels members in the minutes afterward.   
      
   Alejandro Castillo, Carrie Chapin and Ricardo Velazquez filed the   
   complaint against Southern Nevada Powersports Group, known as Henderson   
   Harley-Davidson, in Clark County District Court.   
      
   The May 29, 2022, shooting on the highway, which injured seven, was   
   between the Hells Angels and rival gang, Vagos, police said. Prosecutors   
   have said the shooting may have been in retaliation for a previous murder   
   in California involving the two groups. In all, eight men, including the   
   chapter president, face criminal charges.   
      
   The bikers were part of a Memorial Day weekend ride through Arizona and   
   southern Nevada. Videos shown to a grand jury in June 2022 included   
   members of the Hells Angels at the Henderson dealership minutes after the   
   shooting.   
      
   Surveillance video showed three Hells Angels members, Stephen Alo, Richard   
   DeVries and Cameron Treich, coming to the and storing their motorcycles in   
   the business’ service area, transcripts said.   
      
   In court documents, the three plaintiffs said they received “significant,   
   life-threatening injuries” in the shooting. The lawsuit also cites   
   prosecutors’ claims that members of the Hells Angels stored their   
   motorcycles at the business afterward.   
      
   “Defendant’s employees were complicit in their actions since they were   
   aware the shooting was going to take place and made arrangements for the   
   motorcycle gang members to hide their motorcycles at the place of   
   business,” documents said.   
      
   Seven of the eight men initially faced more than 30 charges of conspiracy   
   to commit murder, attempted murder, further or assisting a criminal gang,   
   battery and racketeering charges, among others, documents said. The   
   racketeering charges accused the group of being part of a “criminal   
   syndicate.” Last year, Clark County District Court Judge Tierra Jones   
   removed the racketeering and gang charges. Jones also reduced many of the   
   charges.   
      
   Prosecutors have not provided evidence in the criminal case that   
   representatives from the dealership were aware of the shooting, though   
   they note some motorcycles had damage.

   A trial in the criminal case was scheduled for May. A hearing was not   
   scheduled in the civil case, which only names the business, not the   
   individuals charged.   
      
   Representatives from the dealership did not immediately respond to a   
   request for comment.
