Richard Alexander, the former president of the Devil’s Army motorcycle club, killed Dillon Brown to terminate a lawsuit that would have made the Hells Angels look bad, the Crown charged Friday in B.C. Supreme Court.

“It’s not clear what his exact motivation for the killing was, but Brown’s death was put in motion when he started his lawsuit,” Crown prosecutor Kimberly Henders Miller told the jury during final submissions.
Alexander is on trial for the first-degree murder of Brown on March 11, 2016.
“Whether the killing was ensuring the lawsuit went away, or that Brown was silenced, or that Brown didn’t end up with $10,000. The only person connected with the settlement and Brown is Alexander.”
Alexander has pleaded not guilty.
Defence lawyer Brent Anderson began his submissions by accusing Witness X, a former full-patch biker now a key Crown protected witness, of snapping and murdering Brown that day. The case for the defence will continue Monday.
The jury has heard that Brown was injured in a fight with members of the Devil’s Army and Hells Angels at a Campbell River nightclub, the Voodoo Lounge, in November 2015. Brown, 30, was a competitive amateur MMA fighter and held his own against the group of bikers.
He decided to sue the nightclub to pay for dental bills and lost work because bouncers didn’t stop the fight or come to his assistance. He asked for, and received, a video of the fight that was captured on the nightclub’s surveillance system. He showed the video to several people and tried to recruit witnesses for his lawsuit.
“If this went to court, it would make the Hells Angels look bad,” said Henders Miller.
The Devil’s Army had close ties with Hells Angels. Alexander left the Devil’s Army briefly to become a Hells Angel but was turned down after a DNA test revealed he had too much African blood, the jury heard. (Greg: Bad luck as the BC H.A.M.C. have no problems with Blacks nor does Quebec H.A.M.C. but California H.A. hates Blacks and they have threatened to terminate any CDN chapter that gives a Black man patch know of 2 cases when a Black man made patch but when the American H.A. found out they had to give it back. Different racial culture in America compared to Canada in our prisons unlike America there is no racial segregation. )
Alexander began negotiating the lawsuit with Brown on Jan. 30, 2016. He was worried criminal charges against the bikers would arise out of the civil suit, said the Crown. Evidence revealed there were phone calls and text messages between the two men.
Alexander began stringing Brown along, promising him a payout of $10,000 for his injuries, said Henders Miller.
“By March 11, the payout was no longer the plan. The plan was murder,” she said. “The events of that day demonstrate the murder was planned and deliberate.”
Alexander asked Brown to meet him at the Devil’s Army clubhouse in Campbell River. He told Brown when to arrive. The clubhouse was a public-enough place that it wouldn’t arouse Brown’s suspicions, but private enough that Alexander could maintain control, said Henders Miller.
“The basement was a poorly lit area where pulling out a gun unnoticed could be more easily accomplished.”
At the clubhouse, Alexander could easily enlist the help of other bikers. And their culture dictates that you don’t rat.
Alexander had the clubhouse surveillance cameras turned off . He had gloves and he told X ahead of time that he was going to need a hand or help bringing someone to their car. Alexander also said “If he doesn’t come alone, it’s off.” And he told X to close the gate, said Henders Miller.
Brown entered the clubhouse with his court documents, expecting a payout. Alexander was armed with a loaded firearm.
“Within seconds of entering the clubhouse, as Brown moved towards the far wall, Alexander fired the weapon from behind him into the back of his head,” she said. “The wound was fatal.”
Henders Miller also pointed to Alexander’s actions after Brown was killed.
As Brown lay bleeding on the floor, Alexander began the process of concealing the murder, said the prosecutor. He told X “Don’t touch him. Don’t [expletive] touch him.”
Alexander told X to get gloves and they put Brown’s body into the trunk of Brown’s car. Alexander drove Brown’s car to Sayward and threw away the key. When Alexander returned to the clubhouse later that day, he had his clothing burned, said Henders Miller. He also deleted all of Brown’s text messages.
There’s zero evidence Witness X knew Brown or knew anything about the civil suit. To accuse him of the murder doesn’t make sense, said Henders Miller.
After the defence submissions, the jury is expected to be charged and begin their deliberations Monday.

Former Devil’s Army president Richard “Ricky” Alexander is appealing his conviction for the first-degree murder of a Vancouver Island man.

On March 15, a B.C. Supreme Court jury convicted Alexander, 68, of the murder of Dillon Brown, a Victoria father and mixed martial arts fighter who was shot in the head at the Devil’s Army clubhouse in Campbell River on March 11, 2016.
Alexander was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years.
A notice of appeal was filed by defence lawyer Brent Anderson on March 26. He argued that the trial judge erred in law by not hearing Alexander’s application for disclosure of materials related to protected witness X, the Crown’s main witness and another full-patch member of the Devil’s Army.
Anderson argued that the trial judge erred in his instructions to the jury on the central issues of identity, after-the-fact conduct and how to consider the evidence of disreputable or unsavoury witnesses.
Alexander is also appealing his conviction on the grounds that the trial judge erred by exhorting the jury to reach a verdict when he was not present in the courtroom.
He also alleged that the judge erred by allowing the jury to deliberate past 10 p.m. without giving Alexander a chance to make submissions on that point.
Finally, Alexander argued that the trial judge erred by refusing to instruct the jury on the defence of alibi or on evidence that exonerated him of guilt.
The Crown argued at trial that Alexander killed Brown, a 30-year-old construction worker, to put an end to a lawsuit that would make Hells Angels and their puppet club, the Devil’s Army, look bad. Brown had been in a fight with three to five bikers at a Campbell River nightclub, the Voodoo Lounge, in November 2015, where he was injured.
He decided to sue the nightclub to pay for dental bills and lost wages because bouncers didn’t stop the fight or come to his assistance.
After Brown was killed, Alexander drove Brown’s car with the body in the trunk and abandoned it near the Cable Bridge on the road to Sayward.
The trial was held under heavy security, with those entering the courtroom required to pass through a metal detector and have their belongings searched and undercover officers mixed with the public.
