GANGLAND HIT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IN THE BRONX

Prior to Saturday's  events, I had heard from multiple sources, that the Hells Angels and the Pagans MC were having issues.  My source had told me that a lot of the static came from the Hells Angeles relocating their clubhouse from Manhattan  to Throggs Neck.    The move was widely considered an encroachment by the Hells Angels into Pagan turf.     Francisco Rosado, 51, was the alleged president of the Pagans, was gunned down by two assailants  using silenced equipped pistols in broad daylight off Holland Avenue in Allerton around 3:20 in the afternoon. Rosado was shot multiple times in the chest and head and was declared DOA.

The Pagans, who operated all down the east coast, and have over 1,000 members are in every different kind of trade their is, from tatt shops, to narcotics, junkyards, bars and more.   The hit, which law enforcement is calling a "professional hit, done by professional hitmen," shows how brazen or at least how angry their enemies were.   Law enforcement has claimed they believe the Hells Angels are responsible, however, it's a claim that, while it makes sense, on some level, just hasn't been proven and I don't think it ever will.    The fact that the Pagans have other biker clubs which are enemies, which include the Bandidos, The Hells Angels, and the Outlaws.  Over the last few months the local police have worried that tensions were boiling over between the clubs, and their gut feeling that if the Hells Angels were behind this, war could very soon be on the table.

The NYPD is being very cautious on this one, trying not to release much more information, but the bottom line is going to be, who was behind it, and if the Pagans believe the Hells Angels are, then I'd expect some really gruesome stuff to begin.  The Pagans are the kind of group who are going to accept this murder easily, and will be forced to respond.     We will see what happens, but I fear, this is likely just the beginning.
