Diablos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This gathering place for members of the Diablos was purchased in 1977, and displays a sign proclaiming "Diablos Coast to Coast". Located in what was once a thriving neighborhood thirty years ago, the black and red building now sits amidst the squalor of neglected and abandoned homes.
The Diablos is a motorcycle club in the United States with chapters in several cities.
On September 24, 1998, Diablo gang member Raymond "Stoney" Stone and seven other members were charged with various crimes (including Stone's confession in his involvement in the 1992 murder of rival gang member Mike D'Amato of Wallingford, Connecticut's James Gang MC for which he would be sentenced to 20 years imprisonment). [1]
Keith Gallagher, the vice president of the Diablos' national chapter, was indicted on charges of cocaine trafficking on January 24, 2006. [2]
