Leavittsburg man charged with murder in Warren Twp. biker shootings

WARREN

David H. Bailes Jr., 45, of Kale Adams Road, Leavittsburg, is charged with two counts of murder, accused of fatally shooting two men from another motorcycle club in the head in the parking lot of Shorty’s Place bar on Highland Avenue in Warren Township.

Bailes and two other men suffered gunshot wounds.

Police filed the charges against Bailes on Sunday in Warren Municipal Court. No arraignment hearing has been scheduled, as he is apparently still hospitalized.

A police report says Bailes is president of the FTW Motorcycle Club and was the only member of that club who was injured. The two men killed and the two others are members of the Brothers Regime club. Both clubs are of Warren.

The two who died are Robert A. Marto, 54, of Phillips Rice Road, Cortland; and Jason C. Moore, 41, of Morrell Ray Road, Bristolville. The other two who were injured are Andrew G. Claypool, 50, of Rose Avenue, Girard; and Walter M. Hughes, 41, of Kenilworth Avenue Southeast.
