Twin Peaks biker killed in crash during police chase

GATESVILLE, Texas (KWTX) One of the bikers indicted in the deadly May 2015 shootout at Waco’s Twin Peaks restaurant died when the stolen motorcycle he was riding crashed into a van during a police chase in Gatesville.


Trey Alston Short, 29, of Temple was among the bikers indicted on Nov. 10, 2015, for engaging in organized criminal activity in the May 17, 2015 shootout between rival biker gangs at police that left nine dead and 20 injured.


A law enforcement source said Monday he was a member of the Cossacks motorcycle gang.
Short died Friday night as he tried to elude police in Gatesville while riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle that had been stolen out of Waco.


An officer spotted the motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed late at around 9:45 p.m. Friday in the 1000 block of West Main Street and attempted to pull the rider over.
The rider, however, sped up and tried to elude the officer, authorities said Monday.
