Police sources tell Mobtalksitdown.com that Philadelphia Homicide Detectives have charged Michael DeLuca, the alleged president of the Chester County Warlocks MC Chapter, with the murder of suspected Warlocks MC prospect Keith Palumbo from Upper Darby.
Sources say the body of the 36 year old Palumbo was recently discovered inside a cemetery vault at the Mt. Moriah Cemetery off Kingsessing Avenue in Philadelphia by Philadelphia Homicide Detectives who had to roll back a slab to the vault to get to the body. Sources say Palumbo was shot in the head. Police say he disappeared back in early February.
Police sources also say detectives discovered the body of a second murder victim which appears to have been there for some time. That unidentified individual had also been shot. Sources say the body may be of another Warlocks MC prospect.
According to investigators, Deluca was arrested on April 12th by police in Wyoming. His Cadillac with tinted windows and Pennsylvania tags was stopped by local police. He was allegedly in possession of a gun. He was booked on local weapons charges and held on the Philadelphia Homicide warrant. Court records indicate DeLuca has a prior criminal record.
Biker experts say DeLuca has been a member of the Warlocks MC for quite some time now. The Warlocks MC has chapters in Chester Co., Delaware Co. and Philadelphia.
A member of the Palumbo family told Mobtalksitdown.com this week that Keith Palumbo “was not a prospect with the Warlocks.”
Police have not revealed the motive for Palumbo’s murder. Stayed tuned to Mobtalksitdown.com for updates on this case.
