LOCKPORT — The biker charged in the double murder of a pair of motorcycle gang members confessed his crime to another member and was seen leaving the crime scene just moments after the slayings.
That was the testimony presented by prosecutors on the first day of the Andre Jenkins trial. On the second day, jurors where shown surveillance video that showed what appears to be Jenkins twice riding a motorcycle into the backyard of the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club clubhouse on Oliver Street in North Tonawanda on Sept. 6.
Jenkins, 36, of Deland, Florida, is charged with first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in what police and prosecutors have called the “execution style” slayings of Daniel “DJ” Szymanski, 31, and Paul Maue, 38, as they sat in a parked car behind the Kingsmen clubhouse in the early morning hours of Sept. 6.
Szymanski and Maue were members of the Kingsmen’s North Tonawanda club chapter. Jenkins is a member of a Florida chapter of the gang.
“Paul Maue and Daniel Szymanski were assassinated,” Niagara County Assistant District Attorney Laura Bittner told the jury of six men and six women who are hearing the case. “There was no fight, no struggle, just a single bullet to the back of their skulls.”
Defense attorney Jenelle Messer told jurors most of the testimony they would hear would come from “drug dealers and criminals.”
Paul “Rebel” Gilmore, the sergeant-at-arms of the North Tonawanda Kingsmen chapter testified that he was at the clubhouse, watching a bank of security cameras on the night of shooting. He said he saw man pulled into the clubhouse parking lot on a motorcycle.
When he went to check on who it was, he said Maue and Szymanski stopped him.
“They told me they would take care of it and they went outside,” Gilmore said.
