Some face hate crime charges in connection with an attack on three African American men in Ocean Beach back in June.
SAN DIEGO — Several members of the Hells Angels motorcycle club faced a judge Monday morning accused of various crimes including attempted murder and carrying out a hate crime.
Some of the 17 defendants face charges in connection with an attack on three African American men in Ocean Beach June 6. According to police, three young men got into an argument with several bikers outside of a bar near Monday afternoon, a news conference was held with several members of law enforcement as well as the San Diego County District Attorney's Office.
"They were chased and attacked by several Hells Angels and Hells Angels supporters," said District Attorney Summer Stephan."It’s possible the attack was triggered because one of them dared to talk to one of the girlfriends of these members. They were repeatedly called racial epithets and told they didn’t belong in that neighborhood."
Police arrested one suspect that night. Since then, authorities conducted an investigation. The case went to a grand jury, which returned an indictment against the defendants. According to District Attorney Stephan, this is one of the largest violent crimes cases prosecuted against the Hells Angels in the county.
