Investigators arrested ten additional suspects in connection to a deadly biker gang shootout at an Oklahoma City bar.
According to jail records, the suspects are being housed at the Oklahoma County Detention Center, and were booked in on a string of complaints including accessory to murder.
In April, three people were killed at the Whiskey Barrel Saloon near Portland and Southwest 29th Street.
“It's unclear exactly what the beef was,” said Oklahoma City Police MSgt. Gary Knight.
According to police, the shooting erupted when members of the rival Bandidos and Homietos biker gangs collided.
“In the end, they were all shooting each other,” said Knight.
Police arrested three men just days after the deadly shooting.
Then in a roundup Wednesday, Oklahoma City Police, U.S. Marshals and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol made ten more arrests.
The suspects are jailed in the Oklahoma County Detention Center, and are being held on hefty bonds that ranged between one and seven million dollars.
Rickey Turpin is the only suspect to be held on a seven million dollar bond.
In a photo shared to his Facebook page, Turpin was pictured wearing a leather vest with a patch that identified him as a member of the Bandidos biker gang.
All of the suspects arrested Wednesday are facing a complaint for "committing a gang-related offense."
In late April, another shootout between members of the same rival gangs erupted near Houston, Texas. The shooting left three people dead.
Texas investigators called it a targeted attack.
