Hells Angels associate Sean Michael Heickert is charged with first-degree murder

Hells Angels associate Sean Michael Heickert one of two men wounded in a gang-related shooting in Thompson in August is charged with first-degree murder, RCMP said. Mounties have arrested and charged a Sean Michael Heickert in the murder of gang leader Bekim Zeneli, who was shot to death almost 10 months ago. RCMP said additional arrests are possible. It's believed Heickert was targeted in the shooting for his alleged involvement in the murder of Zeneli, 33. No one has been arrested. Zeneli, who co-founded the LHS street gang with his brother Mohammed, was found dead in an apartment in Thompson on Dec. 7, 2007.
At one time, LHS -- standing for "Loyalty, Honour, Silence" -- was aligned with the Hells Angels. There has been increasing violence in Thompson in the last year or two due to a power struggle over the drug trade in northern Manitoba. Heickert was taken into custody for questioning shortly after the homicide but was released without charge last December. Heickert was arrested by RCMP this week. He remains in custody. Last year, Heickert was the target of a murder plot as part of a drug turf war in Thompson. That forced police to pull the plug on Project Drill, a year-long undercover investigation into Hells Angels members and associates, last December. Heickert's brother -- Oshawa, Ont., Hells Angels member James Heickert -- and two other men are charged with conspiring to kill him.

"We gear up to meet that threat."Some stolen property and a couple of weapons also were seized, he said. The Violent Crimes Task Force, made up of federal agents and local police detectives, raided the club house and two homes at 5 a.m.The Benton County Regional SWAT team and the Yakima SWAT team were used to help search all the buildings."Because of the large site ... it makes it difficult to secure and make sure everybody is safe," Hart said.

William (Billy) Bowden pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007

William (Billy) Bowden, 33, pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007 and skipping out on his preliminary hearing about a year later. Other drug and weapons charges related to the 2007 incident were stayed as part of a plea bargain securing the two convictions. Bowden remains in custody though, charged with manslaughter in relation to the November 2007 killing of Jeff Engen, who was fatally stabbed at the Empire Cabaret, prompting the club to close. That charge remains before the courts. Bowden has been in custody since he was arrested Feb. 14 in Whistler, B.C., and returned to Manitoba. The Crown and defence jointly recommended that time be noted in his sentence for carrying the firearm. That crime occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 20, 2007, as Bowden was leaving the NV lounge in a truck with friend Ken Houston, court heard.
