Mark “Papa” Guardado, leader of the Hells Angels in San Francisco, was shot down on a city street there Tuesday night.
Guardado was found with gunshot wounds about 10:30 pm about a mile from the group’s clubhouse, according to CBS5 TV in San Francisco.
Witnesses told investigators the gang leader and the gunman struggled before the shooting, and that the suspect fled on a motorcycle, according to reports.
Guardado was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and died shortly afterwards.
The biker had been involved in an ongoing fight with a rival from another motorcycle group before he was killed, according to the Associated Press.
