Omar Mata, 32, is accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. 

According to court documents, Mata was arrested after being found unlawfully in possession of a firearm. 

That’s when investigators identified Mata as the vice president of a local chapter of the Bandidos motorcycle gang. 

He also was found with a Smith and Wesson shield nine millimeter firearm.

Investigators said ballistic testing tied the gun to three shootings. 

One shooting took place on Console Drive in December, another outside a bar on Pecan Valley Drive in March and another a separate shooting on Babcock in July. 

Witnesses also told investigators the gunman was wearing a biker vest with red and yellow lettering.
