At about 8.40pm on December 12, 2020, a loud bang was muffled by the roar of drag-racing car engines at the Kwinana Motorplex in Perth, Australia.
The hulking, heavily tattooed frame of Nick Martin, the 51-year-old boss of the Rebels outlaw motorcycle club, lurched in his seat. Bystanders assumed he was having a heart attack.
“Babe, I’ve been shot,” he told his wife, Amanda, collapsing to the ground in front of his friends and family, including his stepdaughter.
His wife, hands covered in blood, screamed for help and tried to resuscitate him before paramedics sprinted across the racetrack. He was pronounced dead at about 9pm.
The bullet, which many in the crowd assumed was a firework or an engine backfiring, struck Martin’s chest, exiting his back before lodging in the left arm of his daughter’s boyfriend, Ricky Chapman, a former member of a rival motorcycle gang, the Bandidos.
