Dysart, Martinez, Ramirez, Leyva and Donahue are scheduled for court appearances before District Judge Donald Mosley.
The new indictments bring the total number of defendants to 14 in connection to the melee beteween the rival motorcycle gangs at Harrah's Laughlin. The fight resulted in the deaths of Robert Emmet Tumelty, 50, Jeramie Dean bell, 27, and Anthony Salvador Barrera, 43.
