The leader of a Bronx motorcycle gang was shot dead Saturday in what is believed to be a targeted hit, sources said.

Francisco Rosado, 51, who headed the Bronx chapter of the Pagans Motorcycle Club, was gunned down by two masked men on Holland Avenue near Mace Avenue in Allerton at about 3:20 p.m., according to law enforcement sources.

The suspects fled in a blue Jeep Cherokee with stolen license plates, sources said. Rosado was struck in the head and chest and declared dead at the scene, police said.
