NEW YORK CITY (BIKER DAD) –Video shows hundreds of bikers roll out to honor a fallen NYPD detective. 14 years ago, Russel Timoshenko was shot and killed. Each year bikers roll out in his memory. The Vigilance Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club puts on the event.
“He was a great person with a big heart who loves to have fun, who loves his friends, who loves his family. He was very honest, and I’m very proud of him,” Tatyana Timoshenko, Russel’s mother told Spectrum News.
