Outlaws Motorcycle Club Member Sentenced
Naples, Maine, USA (April 10, 2025) - A judge in a Cumberland County court sentenced a Portland tattoo shop owner to 15 years, with all but 5 suspended, for last summer's fatal shooting of Susan McHugh. Aaron Karp will spend 5 years in state prison with 4 years probation after agreeing to plead guilty to a lesser manslaughter charge.
Karp originally faced an intentional or knowing murder charge. According to the judge's decision Thursday morning, if Karp misbehaves, breaks a no contact order or violates his probation he will serve the full 15 years.
Last July, 48-year-old Karp shot and killed 54-year-old McHugh during what police and prosecutors say was a brawl and shootout involving rival motorcycle clubs. The violence broke out near Morrill's Corner in Portland at 1155 Forest Ave., across the street from Almost Famous Tattoos & Piercings, which Karp owns. His defense had argued in previous hearings that Karp was firing in self defense.
Eighteen gunshots can be heard in surveillance video near the shooting, and people can be seen scurrying for cover. Three others were shot and injured that day. Karp, who turned himself in to police on August 2, is one of seven defendants connected to this case.
The other six defendants — Caleb Pelkey, Kaleb Cidre, James Moody, Nathan Walsh, Kristofer Haken and Jason Kennan — face elevated aggravated assault charges and will all be tried together. A judge agreed to a joinder request in March after attorneys argued that holding six separate trials over many months would lead to "lots of logistical issues."

Outlaws MC member charged in deadly shooting
Portland, Maine, USA (August 14, 2024) - Police have charged a Outlaws Motorcycle Club member with murder in connection with a shooting on Forest Avenue that left a Gray woman dead. Police said Aaron Karp, of Naples, turned himself in at the Portland Police station Thursday evening, and he is currently being held without bail.
Police have not released any details about the connection between Karp and the victims. A court file for Karp was not available Friday. A background check run through the Maine Bureau of Identification shows he has no criminal history in the state.
On his Facebook page, Karp describes himself as a tattoo artist at Almost Famous Tattoos & Piercings, which is next to the shooting scene, and has several pictures showing he is a member of the Outlaws motorcycle club.
Karp is charged in the murder of Susan McHugh, 54, of Gray, at about 8:45 p.m. on July 30. She was shot at the 1110 block of Forest Avenue along with a 45-year-old New Hampshire man, a 48-year-old Yarmouth man and a 51-year-old Gray man.
All three other victims have since been treated for their injuries and released from a local hospital. Police have not made any other arrests yet, but said the investigation continues. “This is just the beginning, as we will continue to work with the Office of the Maine Attorney General to build our case as we look for justice for Ms. McHugh,” Dubois said.

World Renowned Tattooist Lyle Tuttle dies
San Francisco, California , USA (March 26, 2019) BTN — Lyle Tuttle was known as the “father of modern tattooing” and a revolutionary protagonist in the history of tattooing has died, he was 87 years old. He was born in 1931 and grew up in Ukiah, California. He had been tattooing since 1949. At the age of fourteen he purchased his first tattoo for $3,50. He has been working for Bert Grimm and has been tattooed by him.
His first shop was open in San Francisco for 35 years. He has tattooed on all seven continents and has become a legend within the industry. Mr. Tuttle tattooed Janis Joplin, Cher, Jo Baker, Henry Fonda, Paul Stanley, Joan Baez, the Allman Brothers and many, many other notable musicians, actors, and celebrities. He officially retired in 1990 but he did occasionally tattoo his signature on a friend or acquaintance.
He also opened The Lyle Tuttle Tattoo & Museum in San Francisco. It features his own collection of tattoo memorabilia, in an effort to preserve the tattoo history for future generations. He says that “tattoos are travel marks, stickers on your luggage. Tattoos are special, you have to go off and earn them. You can go into a jewelry store and buy a big diamond and slip it on your finger and walk out. It’s not like that when you go into a tattoo shop and pick a big tattoo and pay for it. Now you got to sit down and take it.”
Lyle Tuttle died March 26, 2019 in Hospice due to complications from throat cancer, he was 87 years old.
