Overview

• Clifford 'Buckshot' Lavoy and Julian 'Juls' Pulido, members of the Mongols Motorcycle Club, face federal charges in connection with the March 4 murder of Vagos member Vicente Sandoval in Ontario, California.
• Pulido is charged with murder in aid of racketeering and remains in custody, while Lavoy, charged with assault in aid of racketeering, has made his initial court appearance and is being held without bond.
• The altercation began inside the bar when the Mongols members confronted Sandoval over perceived disrespect, escalating into a fatal shooting as Sandoval attempted to flee.
• Pulido led law enforcement on a nine-hour, multi-county high-speed chase before being arrested, wearing the same Mongols-branded clothing from the night of the murder.
• This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a federal initiative aimed at dismantling transnational criminal organizations and addressing violent crime.
