More Police Expected At 2nd San Jose Hells Angels Funeral

SAN JOSE (CBS SF) -– A funeral will be held Saturday at the Oak Hill Cemetery for a Hells Angel member two weeks after he was shot to death during a burial service at the very same cemetery.

Steve Tausan was killed during the funeral for fellow Hells Angels member Jeffrey Pettigrew, the former president of the San Jose chapter.

There will be a noticeable difference between the two services. The funeral for Pettigrew, a 51-year-old who was killed at a casino resort in Sparks, Nev., last month, drew a crowd estimated at anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000 people, mostly consisting of Hells Angels members or other motorcycle gang members.

By contrast, the funeral for the 52-year-old Steve Tausan will be by invitation-only.
