2nd Gang Member Arrested In Execution-Style Death Of Palm Harbor Man

PINELLAS PARK, FL — The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office has made a second arrest in the fatal shooting of a Palm Harbor outlaw motorcycle gang member.

On Wednesday, the sheriff's office arrested Dylan Lee Pascale, 35, of Pinellas Park on first-degree murder charges for his involvement in the gangland-style slaying of Dominick Paternoster, 46, on April 27.

His arrest follows the Aug. 26 indictment of Paul Mogilevsky, 48, of Pinellas Park by a grand jury on first-degree murder charges in the shooting death of Paternoster at his home, 104 Dunbridge Drive, Palm Harbor.

Gualtieri said Paternoster was a member of the Raiders bike gang, a lower-level offshoot of the notorious Mongols outlaw bike gang. He was shot multiple times by more than one gun after being identified as a "snitch" who was providing information to law enforcement, Gualtieri said.

Mogilevsky and Pascale are both members of the Mongols, which share a clubhouse in Tampa with the Raiders, Gualtieri said.

According to the Department of Justice, the Mongols are known for human trafficking and prostitution, smuggling and distributing cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine around the country and for assaulting, intimidating and murdering in defense of their territory and to uphold the reputation of the club. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have called the Mongols the most violent and dangerous outlaw motorcycle gang in the nation.

Although based in California, Gualtieri said the gang's numbers have a growing presence in Tampa Bay.

“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."
