On Sunday, September 22, 2024, 53-year-old Daniel Sanders was fatally shot in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The shooting happened at about 1 a.m. at the intersection of Southwest California Boulevard and Southwest Greenan Lane after Sanders, riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, sustained multiple gunshot wounds; his bike also had a bullet hole in the gas tank. Sanders suffered a head injury in a subsequent crash and was airlifted to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce, where he was pronounced dead an hour later.

Investigators linked the shooting to a dispute involving rival motorcycle clubs. Sanders, a known member of the recently disbanded Rough Riders Motorcycle Club, had been seeking membership with the Pagans. Earlier that night he had been in a fight at The Office Sports Pub, about an hour before the shooting, and that altercation appears to have precipitated the events. Surveillance footage identified a blue Nissan Sentra and three suspects, who were later arrested and held without bond. Victor Omar Alvarez, 23, is accused of firing from the passenger seat while the driver, identified as Driscoll, pursued Sanders at speeds up to 100 mph; a third person, Gonsalves, is accused of attempting to fabricate an alibi.

The Port St. Lucie Police Department said detectives are still determining the exact motive. Did anyone see Sanders or the blue Nissan Sentra near The Office Sports Pub or along Southwest California Boulevard that morning?
