DeLoretto says member he vouched for was shot dead at Ozarks bike night

Explaining why he ultimately left the Mongols, DeLoretto describes helping establish a Mongols-affiliated ‘Raiders’ chapter at Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, and later leading a large ride-out to demonstrate strength. He says a younger member he had personally backed was killed during a confrontation at a bike-night bar when rival club members allegedly arrived looking for a fight. DeLoretto frames the death as a moral turning point and part of the chain of consequences from decisions he made in expanding the club.
