A charity picnic in Hackettstown, New Jersey, turned deadly on July 17, 1994, when a confrontation between rival motorcycle clubs escalated into knives and gunfire. Twenty-three-year-old Diego Vega, a member of the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club, was fatally shot during the melee. Glen Ritchie, 33, another Pagan’s member, was also killed by gunfire.

Several others were wounded: Pagan’s member Ron Locke and Tri-County MC member William Johnson suffered gunshot injuries, and Tri-County member Hank Riger sustained a severe knife wound to his throat. The brawl began with rising tensions between the clubs and quickly became chaotic, prompting a substantial law enforcement response and an investigation into the deadly clash.

Did anyone at the picnic or nearby that day see how the violence started or who fired the shots?
