Hells Angel murder case delayed




The arraignment for Hells Angels motorcycle gang member Michael Henry Pena on murder, attempted murder and gang charges was delayed Friday to Aug. 11 to give the Public Defender's staff time to determine if it has any conflicts of interest in the case.

Conflicts could occur if the Public Defender's staff has represented any victims or witnesses in the case.

The charges against Pena, 44, also known as Delano Mike, stem from the May 30 stabbing death of a Vagos motorcycle gang member, Roger Anthony Violano, 18, and the wounding of another Vagos member, Nerl Rinehart, 69, sheriff's deputies reported.



Quote from the article:
The Vagos have a rivalry with the Hells Angels of which Pena is a member, deputies said. Pena had a Hells Angels tattoo on his right arm.

The victims were stabbed in front of the Pirate Tattoo Shop, 1905 North Chester Ave., deputies said. Pena was arrested Wednesday in front of the same shop, deputies reported.
