On a summer evening in July 1994, a poker run at an Elk’s Lodge in Hackettstown, New Jersey, turned deadly when rival motorcycle clubs clashed. Members of the Pagans, including 33-year-old Glen Ritchie, arrived uninvited at the Tri-County Motorcycle Club event and a brawl involving knives and guns erupted. Ritchie was shot once in the neck; the bullet passed through his heart and exited his back, killing him. Another man, 23-year-old Diego Vega of Morristown, also died in the gunfire.

Authorities arrested several people after the melee. William Johnson, 35, of Jefferson and a Tri-County member, was identified as a primary suspect and arraigned on attempted homicide and weapons charges; he had been wounded in the fight. Richard Leadbeater, 30, of Kearny and a Pagan member, faced aggravated assault and unlawful-weapons charges for allegedly stabbing a Tri-County member. Ballistics testing was pending, and no one was specifically charged with Glen Ritchie’s murder in the immediate aftermath.

If anyone has information about who fired the shot that killed Glen Ritchie or remembers that night at the Elk’s Lodge, please come forward.
