It’s unclear whether the deadly brawl in Fort Worth directly led to Sunday’s bloody battle outside the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas-or whether the two incidents were just loosely connected in a longer gang war. And when The Daily Beast reached Zombie at his lawnmower business, he referred a request for comment to his lawyer. It may not begin until next year, officials say.Īttempts to reach lawyers for the three men were unsuccessful. Dobber also gave investigators his pal’s cellphone number.Īll three accused murderers are out on bail as they await trial. “Howard Baker admitted that he and ‘Zombie’ were both in the Bandido motorcycle gang,” the arrest warrants say. It turns out that his Bandido buddy Dobber may have given up his bro when he was quizzed by cops. And he was no ordinary biker.īefore storming into watering holes and menacing motorcycle club rivals, Povendo was once a promising college athlete who earned notable marks while lettering as an offensive lineman for the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers football team. The massive, dreadlocked 33-year-old goon waving a gun around was named Nicholas Povendo. And soon enough the cops managed to figure out who Zombie was. Howard Wayne Baker (aka Dobber), 59, and Robert Stover (aka Drifter), 47, were both positively identified quickly, according to their arrest warrants. Responding cops cased the scene and managed to sort out the main murder suspects. As she neared the front of the bar, she saw Brady’s lifeless body. She told police she was rattled after hearing the crackle of gunshots. One woman in the bar saw Dobber “point a silver handgun at head.” But she didn’t see him squeeze off any rounds. They were “Drifter” and “Dobber” and a “big white male with dreadlocks” named “Zombie” allegedly jumping anybody who wasn’t a Bandido. The gun-toting Bandidos were quickly identified by their rivals, police reports say. The scene wasn’t Waco but Fort Worth, Texas, home of Gators Jam Inn.Īnd the adversaries knew each other well. But Waco may have been part of an ongoing beef between rival factions, The Daily Beast has learned.
