MOUNTAIN VIEW – Five men with apparent ties to the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club have been arrested in connection with a homicide and separate assault at a country music concert earlier this year in Mountain View, according to authorities.
The homicide and assault were reported June 18 at a Chris Stapleton concert at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, the Mountain View Police Department said in a statement Tuesday.
Around 10:45 p.m., 41-year-old Bakersfield resident Juan Gonzalez was found unresponsive near the Stage Right Café, police said. He received medical aid at the venue and was rushed to a hospital for further treatment, but he died a week later.
Police said an off-duty officer was also “brutally assaulted” near some portable restrooms.
Five men were ultimately identified as suspects in the two cases. They all seemed to know one another and appeared to be associated with the Hells Angels, police said.
On Tuesday, authorities served search warrants at the homes of the men as well as a Hells Angels clubhouse in San Francisco. All five men were taken into custody without incident.
Dominic Guardado, 33, of San Francisco, was arrested on suspicion of dissuading a witness to a crime; Julio Moran, 43, of San Mateo, and David Wiesenhaven, 38, of San Francisco, were arrested on suspicion of assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury; Logan Winterton, 37, of San Francisco, was arrested on suspicion of murder and assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury; and Raymond Cunanan, 42, of Pleasant Hill, was arrested on suspicion of dissuading a witness to a crime and assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury, police said.
“I am exceptionally grateful for the dedication and tenacity our detectives put into this case to bring justice to the victims involved,” Mountain View police Chief Chris Hsiung said in a statement. “I know many wanted answers and updates, and we appreciate your patience. Know that our team gave it their all to get us here today.”
