Our prayers are with you and your family Ginfar. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through but God help you. Incha allah justice will be served.

Full story

A member of the Warlocks motorcycle gang and a security guard have been arrested on a charge of murder in the weekend shooting death of a man in Apopka.

Warlocks member James Madison Bedsole, 39, was arrested tonight at his Orange County home, said Officer Steve Popp of the Apopka police. Security guard Holguy Louissaint, 41, was arrested last night at his Lake Mary home.

The body of Chad Brickey was found early Saturday in a pickup that had driven into a ditch near a gas station on Orange Blossom Trail in Apopka, police said.

Brickey had gotten into an argument with someone at a bar a few miles away and had been asked to leave, Popp said. On the way out of the parking lot, his red pickup hit a parked motorcycle that belonged to one of the Warlocks, the officer said.

Bedsole jumped into the bed of Louissaint's gold pickup and told Louissaint to follow Brickey, police said. When the men caught up to Brickey about 10 minutes later, Bedsole jumped out and shot Brickey once in the head, investigators said.

Louissaint was charged because he drove Bedsole to the scene of the shooting. Louissaint left Brickey there and never called police, Popp said.

"He knows the guy's life is taken," Popp said. "He leaves the scene. He didn't come forward and come to us or anyone and tell what happened."



APOPKA, Fla. -- Two men, including a member of a local biker gang, have been arrested and charged with gunning down and killing a man at an Apopka gas station.

VIDEO: 2 Charged With Murder

Police said James Bedsole killed Chad Brickey over the weekend after Brickey accidentally bumped into Bedsole's motorcycle outside a bar.

Police believe Bedsole, 39, is a member of the Warlocks motorcycle gang. They said he was at Sharkies Pool Lounge early Saturday morning when Brickey made contact with Bedsole's motorcycle after being kicked out of the bar.

Bedsole then got into a truck, driven by Holguy Louissant, and the pair followed Brickey, 29, to a Mobil gas station in Apopka and Bedsole shot and killed him, police said.

Both men are being held on first-degree murder charges.

Holy Cow.. that is so sad. Such a nice looking lad and such a cute daughter that now has no father.

I hope they catch the shooter, then shoot he dead then give him a trial.

He is a loser and has no value for human life


you have my prayers

yogi

my deepest condolences...no one should ever have to suffer the loss of their child this way...no matter what age

My heart goes out with you Ginger! I'm very very sorry for your loss. Please stay strong *big hugs*

God be with you and your family

Thanks again everybody for your prayers and condolences. I'm still taking this day by day. Mornings seem to be the most difficult, although I never know when I'm going to break down crying. Every time I pass by the spot where we all went fishing on July 4, my heart feels like it's breaking into a million pieces. I feel myself despising the man who did this to all of us, especially to my granddaughter. I pray that justice will prevail, although it's looking like the state may release the shooter on bond because the prosecutor wants the case handed to him in a pretty package with fingerprints on the weapon, which hasn't been found, and even a confession from the shooter -- this make the prosecutor look like he has a perfect record with convictions. Please pray that they find the evidence that they have to be sufficient or that they find something that makes them feel secure enough to get an indictment. I miss my son so much....I just wish I could go back to the day before this horrible nightmare started so that I could change things, but that's not realistic. What people do to other people and the people that love them is incredible.

We have a 1st degree murder indictment on the shooter in my son's murder case! This is one small step in a long process, but it's going in the right direction for justice. We've got your back, Chad....and we always will.

Sister, may your family someday know peace. I realize that is a hope that is far off, but know this, even if justice doesn't prevail in this world, I know it prevails in the next. God bless you all and keep you in the palm of His hand.

Also, please try to get some grief counseling with a hospice program or victim program - right now, during the holidays loss is the hardest. I speak of which I know.
