SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Police from Nevada are in the Bay Area to lay the groundwork for the extradition of a man accused of killing a San Jose man at a Nevada casino. Authorities say Ernesto Manuel Gonzalez was taken into custody Thursday on the University of California, San Francisco campus.

    The 53-year-old alleged member of the Vagos motorcycle gang is accused of killing Jeffrey Pettigrew, the president of the San Jose Chapter of the  Hells Angels. The Sparks Police Department says authorities haven't ruled out more arrests.

    Sparks detectives say Gonzalez must appear in court on a fugitive-from-justice charge before formal extradition procedures can begin. However, they don't know when that will happen or if Gonzalez will fight it.

    Pettigrew, a long-time employee of the San Jose Department of Transportation was 51 years old when he was killed on September 23rd.
