Paternoster was a member of the Raiders which are a subgroup of the Mongols who share a clubhouse together in Tampa. They are suspected of shooting Paternoster execution style as they believed he was an informant.
Pascale was interviewed by Sheriff’s detectives and gave them a timeline of events for the evening of the murder. Pascale claimed he and another person took Paternoster home from Tampa and left him sleeping in his recliner. Detectives knew that was a lie due to the fact they found shell casings at the murder scene with DNA matching Pascale.
According to the DOJ, the notorious Mongols are known for human trafficking and prostitution, drug trafficking, and murder. They have no qualms about doing what needs to be done to uphold the reputation of the club.

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri had this to say about the Mongols.
“They’re a criminal racketeering organization, and they are organized crime, really, in its truest sense,” Gualtieri said. “They’re very, very different from everyday people who simply enjoy riding motorcycles on weekends and belong to true social motorcycle clubs. These aren’t the people you see out on a Sunday motorcycle ride. They’re thugs who terrorize and commit crimes.”
Pascale was transported to the Pinellas County jail and charged with 1st degree murder.
