History
Kinfolk MC was founded in 2016 by several bikers who had left the Bandidos MC due to disapproval in its leadership, calling it a "dictatorship". The remaining members of the Bandidos did not take kindly to their ex-members' departure and establishment of a new club, which has been the cause of much conflict between both groups.[1]
Criminal allegations and incidents
On March 4, 2014, Kinfolk MC member Dusty Childress was gunned down in Jones County, Texas by Wesley Dale Mason, a member of the rival Bandidos MC.[6][7] He was sentenced to life in prison for the murder.[8]
