- More than a dozen people connected to the San Diego County chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang have been sentenced for their roles in a hate-related stabbing and attack on three young Black men in Ocean Beach, Calif.
- Lead defendant Troy Andrew Scholder, a longtime Hells Angels leader, stabbed one victim in the chest, fracturing his sternum, piercing his lung, and severing an artery, nearly causing fatal blood loss. Two victims were severely beaten while a third fled, with co-defendants aiding Scholder’s escape to the gang’s El Cajon clubhouse.
- All 14 defendants, each connected to the Hells Angels, were arrested nearly three months after the incident. Scholder was convicted of attempted murder and other charges, receiving 21 years to life in state prison in June 2025. The remaining 13 defendants pleaded guilty to various assault and hate crime-related charges, with sentences ranging from state prison terms to county jail time and probation. Read More
