Francisco Rosado was a 51-year-old husband of 27 years, father, grandfather and building superintendent in the Bronx. He led the Bronx chapter of the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club and, according to his wife Jeannie, was hardworking with a short temper but a heart of gold. On the afternoon of May 2, 2020, around 3:20 p.m., Rosado was ambushed on Holland Avenue in the Allerton section of the Bronx. Two masked men in black jumped out of a blue Jeep Cherokee with stolen plates and opened fire with handguns equipped with silencers. Rosado was struck multiple times in the head and chest and was pronounced dead at the scene; a second man, 42-year-old Javier Cruz, was wounded in the arm.

Investigators described the killing as a targeted assassination tied to a turf dispute between rival motorcycle clubs after the Hells Angels established a presence in the area months earlier. Detectives used surveillance footage, cell phone records and bus video to develop suspects. In July 2020 three men were arrested and charged in the case. Does anyone have eyewitness information or additional details about that afternoon on Holland Avenue?
