On September 13, 2015, a confrontation between rival motorcycle clubs at a gas station on Route 314 in Los Chavez, New Mexico, turned deadly. The shootout involved members of the Bandidos and the Poor Boys. Danny Macias, a 40-year-old resident of Belen and a member of the Poor Boys, was fatally shot. Sean Duffey, 38, of Albuquerque and affiliated with the Bandidos, also died from gunshot wounds. Three other people were wounded and treated at a local hospital.

The New Mexico State Police described the event as a clash between the two clubs but did not disclose arrests or identify specific suspects. The shooting was one of several violent incidents involving motorcycle clubs that year, including a March 2015 Applebee’s shooting in Albuquerque and a May 2015 clash in Waco, Texas that produced multiple deaths and many arrests.
