Hells Angels to honor slain leader

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Police estimate as many as 1,000 Hells Angels may roll into California's Bay area to remember a slain leader of the motorcycle riders brotherhood.

Services are to be held Sunday and Monday for Mark "Papa" Guardado, 46, the head of the Angels' San Francisco chapter who was shot outside a bar in the city Sept. 2, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday.

Christopher Ablett, 37, of Modesto, a member of a rival motorcycle club, is a suspect in the shooting, police said.

After a vigil and a memorial service, Guardado is to be interred Monday at Cypress Lawn Cemetery in Colma in what may be the Bay Area's largest two-wheeled funeral procession, the Chronicle reported.

"However many there are, we're going to be ready," said Officer Shawn Chase of the California Highway Patrol.
