Florida Man Gets Life Without Parole For Killing 2 Bikers

Posted

LOCKPORT, N.Y. (AP) — A 37-year-old Florida man convicted of fatally shooting two members of a western New York motorcycle club has been sentenced to life without parole.

Andre Jenkins of Deland, Florida, was sentenced Wednesday for the Kingsmen Motorcycle Club murders. A Niagara County Court jury convicted him in August after two days of deliberations.

Authorities said Jenkins shot 31-year-old Daniel Szymanski (ZIH'-man-skee) of Getzville and 38-year-old of Paul Maue (mow) of Buffalo as they sat inside a car parked outside the Kingsmen clubhouse in North Tonawanda last September.

Jenkins was arrested in Georgia two months after the slayings.

Prosecutors said the victims were killed because of an internal dispute among the bikers.
