Sixteen members of a Georgia biker gang have been charged with a shooting that left two people injured in a hotel parking lot last year, authorities said Monday.
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said his office’s gang prosecution unit will take the lead in prosecuting the case in Bryan County, south of Savannah.
The Bryan County Superior Court indictment charges 16 people with multiple violations of Georgia’s Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act. Some were charged with aggravated assault and attempted armed robbery, while others were charged with conspiracy to commit those crimes.

All of the defendants are members of the Southeast Georgia chapter of the Outcast biker gang, Carr’s office said in a press release. The indictment, handed down by a grand jury on Wednesday, says Outcast members conspired to rob members of a rival gang of their motorcycle vests.
Outcast members held rival gang members at gunpoint outside a Richmond Hill hotel on June 17 and ordered the men to hand over their vests, according to the indictment. Shots were fired in the parking lot along a highway dotted with hotels, gas stations and fast food outlets. There were no fatalities, but police said two people were injured.
Carr’s office said authorities executed more than 40 search warrants in southeastern Georgia as part of their investigation and seized $180,000 in cash and 71 guns.
