BRONX - Two members of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang were sentenced for fatally shooting one man and wounding another who were members of a rival biker gang. 


District Attorney Darcel Clark said the defendants, Frank Tatulli, 61, of Hollywood Avenue, the Bronx, and Sayanon Thongthawath, 32, of 53rd Street, Queens, pleaded guilty on November 16, 2023. 


On January 4, 2024, Tatulli was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for second-degree Murder and Thongthawath was sentenced to 13 years in prison and five years post-release supervision for first-degree Manslaughter, by Bronx Supreme Court Justice George Villegas. 


“The defendants shot the victims in retaliation for a shooting outside the Hell’s Angels headquarters four months earlier,” Clark said. “The defendants carried out this violence in a residential area, near a busy intersection in broad daylight. They pleaded guilty and now will serve time in prison.”


According to the investigation, on the afternoon of May 2, 2020 the defendants drove to 2522 Holland Avenue, where they shot at Francisco Rosado, 51, striking him five times, and Javier Cruz, 42, wounding his arm. 


The shooting was in retaliation for gunfire outside the Hell’s Angels headquarters on Longstreet Avenue on January 2, 2020.
