The Hells Angels biker charged with shooting a man who dared to move a parking cone outside the infamous gang’s East Village headquarters died of an aneurysm, his lawyer said.
Prosecutors dismissed the assault case against Anthony Iovenitti, 52, Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court due to his August passing while on a motorcycle road trip.
Defense lawyer Ron Kuby said the biker “died doing what he loved most, riding motorcycles with his brothers.”
Iovenitti had faced first-degree assault and weapon possession raps for allegedly shooting 25-year-old David Martinez in the stomach Dec. 11, 2016.
Martinez had moved a cone outside the notorious E. 3rd St. clubhouse so he could park.
Kuby previously said that NYPD surveillance video showed Martinez kick Iovenitti in the head before the biker fired a single round at him.
Martinez, who suffered a severed colon and damage to his spine, said he had forgiven Iovenitti.
“I’m past that moment of revenge, of anger, of what I was feeling in the hospital bed when I couldn’t move, couldn’t walk, couldn’t use the bathroom by myself,” he said.
“My condolences to his family, to his friends,” said Martinez, adding, “My blessings go out to all the Hells Angels.”
