Daniel DJ Szymanski was 31 when he was found shot to death in North Tonawanda, New York, in the early hours of September 6, 2014. He and 38-year-old Paul Maue were discovered in a car parked near the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club on Oliver Street; both men had associations with the club.

Investigators focused on internal conflicts within the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club. Authorities identified Andre Jenkins, known as Little Bear, as the gunman and say the club’s national president, David Pirk, ordered the killings. Jenkins was arrested in Georgia weeks after the murders and extradited to New York; he faced murder charges. Court proceedings described the killings as execution-style and connected the killings to the club’s violent, criminal activities.
