In the late evening hours of May 6, 1995, in Franklin-township, New Jersey, a dedicated police sergeant's life was tragically cut short. Ippolito 'Lee' Gonzalez, a 40-year-old Hispanic male, was nearing the end of his shift when he conducted a traffic stop on a suspicious vehicle. This routine act of law enforcement would be his last. The vehicle carried two men, Robert 'Mudman' Simon and Charles 'Shovel' Staples, both members of the Warlocks Motorcycle Club, who had just committed a burglary.
