The incident occurred on Saturday, March 8, 2025, during Daytona Bike Week, at the RaceTrac in the 3000 block of State Road 44 in New Smyrna Beach, Volusia County. The New Smyrna Beach Police Department (NSBPD) reported it as a shooting between “familiar” rival motorcycle gangs, with two people injured—both with non-life-threatening wounds. It started as a physical fight, captured on witness video, showing bikers throwing punches and knocking over a motorcycle before gunfire erupted. The groups fled before police arrived, but some witnesses stayed to assist. One suspect was detained, and an arrest was made, though no names have been released yet due to the ongoing investigation. Multiple agencies, including the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, Edgewater Police, FBI, and ATF, are assisting NSBPD, suggesting possible ties to broader gang activity.

For more information beyond the initial reports:

• Investigation Status: As of today, March 9, the scene has been cleared of crime tape, but officers remained on-site into Saturday evening, with two motorcycles still present—one on a tow truck. The police are still piecing together what sparked the conflict, how many individuals were involved, and the specific clubs’ identities. Interim Chief Christopher Kirk noted the gangs were known to them, but no public disclosure has been made yet.
• Witness Accounts: Video evidence from bystanders (e.g., posted by “What’s Shady In Daytona” on Facebook) shows the chaos unfolding in real-time. One witness speculated online that the Warlocks Motorcycle Club might be involved, though this remains unconfirmed by authorities. The footage ends with people locking the gas station doors as shots continued.
• Bike Week Context: With Bike Week wrapping up today, March 9, the event’s final weekend likely amplified tensions. The area had heightened police presence, but Kirk called this a “worst-case scenario” due to its daylight occurrence amidst heavy traffic and bystanders. No uninvolved parties were reported injured.
• Next Steps: NSBPD is urging anyone with info or additional video to call (386) 424-2220. Given the federal involvement (ATF/FBI), this could escalate if linked to interstate gang disputes, though no such connection has been confirmed yet.
