On the evening of September 13, 2019, a violent altercation outside JC’s Cafe on Bedford Street in Fall River, Massachusetts left 39-year-old Eric Voshell dead. Voshell, a White/Caucasian man from Oak Bluffs and a member of the Sidewinders Motorcycle Club, was shot in the head during a brawl with members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. He was taken to Charlton Memorial Hospital and later transferred to Rhode Island Hospital, where he died the following morning.

Two other men, a 37-year-old from Fall River and a 23-year-old from Bridgewater, suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Police say the confrontation began when members of the Outlaws, including Joseph JoJo Noe, exited the bar and were met by the Sidewinders who had just arrived on their motorcycles. Noe, a 25-year-old from Taunton and an Outlaws member, surrendered to Fall River police and was arraigned on multiple charges, including murder; he pleaded not guilty and was held without bail.

Voshell was a married father, owned an air conditioning contracting business, and had served as a call firefighter in Oak Bluffs. Hundreds of mourners, including many bikers from various clubs, attended his funeral.
