For the past 18 years the city of Sparks in Washoe County, Nevada, has been part of an annual weekend-long festival known as Street Vibrations, which also includes Reno and Virginia City.
This year up to 30,000 motorbike enthusiasts were expected to attend the celebrations, but the plug was pulled on the event mid-flow after a shootout between the Hells Angels and Vagos gangs inside John Ascuaga’s Nugget Casino on Friday night.
During the fight, the president of the San Jose chapter of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club, Jeffrey “Jethro” Pettigrew, was fatally wounded, while two Vagos gang members were also shot, but are expected to recover.
Since the incident, police have now started reviewing cctv video to get a clearer picture as to what transpired inside the casino. So far, it would appear that around a dozen Hells Angels and 60 Vagos members were gambling inside the 1,600-room hotel and casino at the time.
It is also believed the fight may have been a spontaneous act, with one eye-witness claiming the gun fight occurred after a fistfight broke out between Hells Angels and Vagos members near the slot machines by Trader Dick’s bar.
“He [Hells Angels member] was down with the bloody nose, gets up and pulls out the gun and that’s the first shot…Then he turn the gun towards the south of the building and that’s when he started firing into the crowd,” said Jose Franco of Reno.
Hells Angel member Cesar Villagrana, 36, has now been arrested by police although they say there is no immediate evidence he actually wounded anyone with his shots.
The gunfight which ensued left Jeffrey “Jethro” Pettigrew dead, two Vagos members wounded, with a drive-by shooting incident 12 hours later leaving Vagos member Shane Smith, 40, too, in hospital.
Longstanding tensions are known to exist between the Hells Angels and the Vagos with the two gangs having had several run-ins in the past. Following the latest incident, Sparks police said:
“The Sparks Police Department wants to acknowledge the acts of these two motorcycle clubs do not represent a majority of the motorcycle enthusiasts that come to the Street Vibrations event.”

DOUCHEBAGGERY IS THE GREATEST FORM OF FLATTERY
Kurt Sutter called Chuck Zito a Doucebag
Mike Yevtuck has called the rest of them Doucebags
And wrote Doucebaggery is the greatest form of flattery I think that is one of the only times I agreed with Kurt Sutters rants and raves about anything.
That in itself agreeing with Kurt feels strange since Kurt and I come from and live in complete different worlds and we look at the Biker world from two complete different view points.
I really understand what he said.
I am Flattered to think the USA hells angels and or the Men in the support flocks that date the freaks in the USA hells angels hate me so much and look at me as such a threat to their fake way of life that they would take the time to actually try to belittle me by making face accounts using my name and making fake comments using my name all over the internet
However I like to handle things the Good Old fashion way
I would like you USA hells angels chicken headed beak bobbing Knob Gobblers and or the men in the fraudulent freak flocks that follow you to do as follows:
1) stop using my name to make comments
2) erase the fake Michael Yevtuck face book account since I am the only Michael Yevtuck in the world you have no legal excuse other then you were born cowards
3) erase the Fake Discus Account Mike Yevtuck same reason stated above
4) erase the fake Yahoo account Mike Yevtuck same reasons previously mentioned
5 If you have a problem with me argue like men and stop using Libel.
6) if you really hate me so much that words cannot describe it
You are all welcome to try to beat me up and if you cannot fight you can try to shoot me.
This Cowardly BS has got to stop . I do not do anything I am ashamed of doing
If you are ashamed of your actions stop doing them and I will have nothing to comment about.
