GILROY, Calif. -- A Gilroy man is facing murder charges after a clash between Hells Angels and Vagos motorcycle gang members at a Reno casino left the San Jose Hells Angels chapter president dead.
Hells Angels member Cesar Villagrana, 36, of Gilroy, was charged with murder even though he did not actually kill anyone.
On Sept. 23, Hells Angel San Jose president Jeffrey “Jethro” Pettigrew, 51, shot and stabbed to death inside a packed casino bar by a rival Vagos biker.
Police believe Pettigrew's killer was Vagos biker Ernesto Manuel Gonzalez, 53, who has been arrested and charged in connection to Pettigrew's death.
Oddly enough, Villagrana, not Gonzalez, was charged with murder.
Villagrana and his friend Pettigrew had traveled to Reno together for an annual motorcycle festival called Street Vibrations. In the hour before Pettigrew was killed, the two were hanging out in the bar.
