But the subsequent shootout had only one casualty, according to police: Dustin Lindner, 35, one of the suspected gang members who had participated in the raid.
Lindner’s four suspected accomplices — Jason Brewer, 34; Gary Fletcher, 40; David Faulkner, 52; and Michael Karnuth, 31 — all stand charged with his murder, with the attempted murder of their target and attempted burglary and robbery of the target’s home.
A fifth person, 26-year-old Jordan Lindner, faces charges of assisting a criminal and obstructing justice in connection to the incident.
The Department of Justice characterizes The Pagans as “one of the most prominent outlaw motorcycle gangs in the eastern United States,” according to a December indictment of 30 members accused of distributing heroin, cocaine and meth throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Warlocks’ presence has historically been visible in Florida, according to coverage from Florida news outlets, although recent news coverage indicates chapters in South Carolina and other southeastern states.
