LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Nevada Supreme Court ruled the Hell's Angels are a criminal gang on Thursday regarding a shooting that occurred in 2022 on U.S. 95.

In 2023, the seven alleged Hell's Angels members did not face racketeering or gang charges in the shooting case, meaning they received lighter sentences as a result of the ruling by the Clark County District Court.

The Nevada Supreme Court presented "sufficient evidence" to a grand jury, which found that there was probable cause to believe that the group was a criminal gang.

Now, the case can move forward but no hearings have been set as of now.
