History

Kinfolk MC was founded in 2016 by several bikers who had left the Bandidos MC due to disapproval in its leadership, calling it a "dictatorship". The remaining members of the Bandidos did not take kindly to their ex-members' departure and establishment of a new club, which has been the cause of much conflict between both groups.[2]

Criminal allegations and incidents

On March 4, 2016 Kinfolk MC member Dusty Childress was gunned down in Jones County, Texas by Wesley Dale Mason, a member of the rival Bandidos MC.[3][4] He was sentenced to life in prison for the murder.[5]


On July 30, 2017, Kinfolk MC member Javier Gonzalez was sentenced on a murder charge in the shooting of Juan "Compa" Martinez Jr, a Bandido MC member in El Paso, Texas. Martinez, who was shot seven times, died days after the shooting. Three other men linked to the Bandidos were injured in the shooting.[6]
