Hells Angels, A man arrested at a Fremont motel Saturday in connection with the shooting death of a Hells Angel member is expected to be charged with homicide Wednesday at Santa Clara County Superior Court.

Steven Ruiz, 38, is expected to face charges that he killed Steve Tausan on Oct. 15 while both were attending the Oak Hill Cemetery service of San Jose Hells Angel chapter president Jeff “Jethro” Pettigrew. Pettigrew was fatally shot in a Nevada casino a month earlier, allegedly by a member of the rival Vagos gang.

Pettigrew and Tausan were close friends.

A Hells Angel named Boston Ron called this newspaper Monday to say that Ruiz is now considered an ex-Hells Angel, stemming from Tausan’s shooting death.
