Satan’s Soldiers MC
The Satans Soldiers Motorcycle Club website. Feola fired a .32-caliber revolver at close range into the right side of victim David Butler’s chest.
He flushed his life away.
The longtime head of a Bronx biker club was convicted of attempted murder Friday for shooting a man who confused a motorcycle with a men’s room.
Elvio Feola, 63, faces up to 25 years in prison for blasting a single bullet into the 25-year-old victim’s chest outside the Fiddler’s Elbow bar in the Throgs Neck section.
Feola — known among his pals in the Satans Soldiers Motorcycle Club as “Spike” — became enraged when David Butler urinated near a fellow biker’s ride, the Bronx district attorney said.
As the argument escalated, the biker club president pulled a .32-caliber revolver and fired it once at close range into the right side of Butler’s chest.
The defendant was convicted of attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon in the Aug. 6, 2011, shooting. He returns for sentencing in Bronx Supreme Court on Nov. 15.
Prosecutors said the gun was recovered and that Feola’s DNA was found on the revolver.
The bullet remains lodged between two vertebrae in Butler’s spine after doctors said any surgery to remove it carried a high risk of paralysis.
The gunshot also led to two broken ribs, a lacerated liver and a collapsed lung.
