Hell's Angels Leader found dead in San Francisco Neighborhood


The residents in San Francisco's mission neighborhood were terrified after the SFPD found a dead body in the area. They identified him as 46-year-old Mark Guardado, a leader of the Hell's Angels motorcycle club. Guardado was reported shot around 10:30pm outside a bar on 24th and Treat Ave. Guardado was recently faced with criminal charges in connection to a fight in Petaluma last February. On February 10th, Guardado and the vice president of the Hell's Angels club, Jonathon Nelson, got into a fight in Petaluma with a patron at a Dining House. Apparently, the patron was knocked out in the fight. Guardado and Nelson were both arrested of assault with great bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon, and gang enhancements. They were both released on bail. Police were investigating reports that Guardado was shot by a member of the Mongols, a rivalry motorcycle club. The Mongols and the Hell's Angels got into a big fight six years ago in Nevada. Police say they will continue to patrol the area and reassure the residents they will remain safe.

Is it just San Francisco, or is it becoming a contagion all over the US that violence appears out of nowhere without rhyme or reason? These recent killings seem to be so random and commonplace, I would be scared if I had children. Do you think gun control would help reduce the number of homicides?
