Clothing brand Von Dutch defined mid-2000s style, capping every celebrity they could with their signature trucker hats and motorcycle culture prints. But behind the low-rise flaming eyeballs and perfect pinstripes, disputes about ownership and management kept co-founder Bobby Vaughn on edge. In February of 2005, a homicide was linked to Bobby sending Von Dutch into a downward spiral and the victim’s family on a quest for justice. The victim turned out to be Bobby’s best friend and business partner, Mark Rivas.
