Now there will be hell to pay.
Cops have arrested two Hells Angels members and another biker-gang tough suspected in the assassination of a rival Pagans Motorcycle Club leader, police sources said.
Francisco Rosado, 51, was shot dead by a pair of masked gunmen on Holland Avenue near Mace Avenue in the Allerton section of the Bronx around 3:20 p.m. May 2, according to police.
Police sources said the two men taken into custody were high-ranking members of the Hells Angels, who escalated a turf beef after the rival biker gang tried to move into The Bronx.
Hells Angels honcho Frank Tatulli, 58, and club member Sayanon Thongthwath, 29, were charged with murder, criminal weapons possession and manslaughter, sources said.
Anthony Destefano, 27, a reputed member of the Satan’s Soldiers biker gang, was hit with the same charges in relation to the slaying, the sources added.
The exact roles they played in the killing were unclear.
Rosado, the leader of the Bronx chapter of the Pagans Motorcycle Club, was shot once in the head and the chest and died at the scene.
The triggermen took off in a blue Jeep Cherokee with stolen plates, cops said.
The Hells Angels is based up and down the East Coast with more than 1,000 members — and have been connected to drugs, tattoo parlors, strip clubs and junkyards.
The trio was awaiting arraignment in Bronx criminal court Wednesday evening.
