Javier Negrete, a 38-year-old Hispanic man and member of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club in San Antonio, died on October 20, 2001 outside a bar in San Antonio. His death is described as part of a broader conflict between the Bandidos and other motorcycle clubs that included violent confrontations.

Years later, federal prosecutors pursued a wide-ranging case against top Bandidos leaders. A 2017 superseding indictment named National President Jeffrey Fay Pike and National Vice President John Xavier Portillo on multiple charges, including murder in aid of racketeering, and linked violence dating to the early 2000s. Other members charged included Johnny Romo, Robert Romo, Jesse James Benavidez, and Norberto Serna Jr., with allegations ranging from discharging a firearm during a murder in aid of racketeering to drug trafficking and extortion.

Negrete’s death is presented in that larger criminal context; the indictment notes several murders and violent acts involving the club. If anyone has memories of the October 2001 incident outside the bar or information about Negrete’s activities in San Antonio, please share what is known.
