Alabama biker gang founder kills seven and a dog in shooting spree

In early June 2020, a horrific shooting spree in Valhermoso Springs, Alabama, left seven people and a dog dead. Frederic Allen Rogers, a 26-year-old co-founder of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' biker gang, was found guilty of the murders, which included four men and three local residents. The crime scene revealed a brutal attack, with victims shot multiple times and one victim set on fire in an apparent attempt to destroy evidence. The youngest victim, Dakota Green, was also stabbed, highlighting the violent nature of the incident. Rogers and his alleged accomplice, John Michael Legg, were apprehended in Oregon over two weeks after the massacre. Investigators testified that Rogers admitted to killing the victims, some of whom were affiliated with his gang. The prosecution sought the death penalty, but the jury ultimately recommended a life sentence without the possibility of parole after a brief deliberation. The case drew significant media attention, particularly due to the shocking nature of the crimes and the involvement of a biker gang. As evidence was presented in court, including graphic crime scene photos, Rogers reportedly displayed visible distress. Legg, who has not yet faced trial, is also dealing with escape charges after attempting to flee from jail. This tragic event underscores the dangers associated with gang violence and the severe consequences that can arise from such criminal activities. The community continues to grapple with the aftermath of this brutal crime, as families mourn their lost loved ones.
