San Francisco police are investigating a shooting that took place Wednesday night that claimed the life of the city’s Hells Angels president Mark Guardado.

Guardado, 46, who headed up the Hells Angels chapter in San Francisco, had been outside a bar in the city’s Mission District when he was gunned down.

Suspicion for Guardado’s murder has already been cast on rival motorcycle club The Mongols who have a history of violent encounters with the Hells Angels. The Mongols are based in Southern California but have chapters in the north of the state as well.

Police now fear a reprisal; they have bumped up their presence in the area to protect the safety of residents
