Jonas Barrett Padilla, 37, was fatally shot on January 1, 2023 while riding his motorcycle in the Valley Estates neighborhood of Raleigh, North Carolina. The shooting occurred around 5 p.m. on Bayberry Lane near Fawndale Drive. Neighbors reported multiple gunshots and motorcycles speeding away. Padilla was thrown from his bike, taken to a hospital, and later died. An autopsy found two gunshot wounds, to the chest and right leg, and multiple bruises consistent with falling from the motorcycle; the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from the torso gunshot.

Surveillance along Creedmoor Road showed five motorcyclists pursuing Padilla, and video reportedly captured him losing control and falling down an embankment. Two helmeted individuals then approached, removed his club vest, and left with the others. By January 6, 2023, five men were arrested and charged with murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon; authorities identified them as members of the Red Devils Motorcycle Club. The case has been described as connected to violent rivalries between motorcycle gangs. Did anyone in the Raleigh area see Padilla or his motorcycle that afternoon, or have information about the pursuit?
