The Nevada businessman facing charges in the CalPERS bribery case apparently shot himself to death with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun.
Reno police released new details  in the death of Alfred Villalobos, 71, who died about a month before he was due to go on trial in California on charges of bribing the former chief executive of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System.
Villalobos is believed to have died from a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, police said. His body was found about 3:30pm Tuesday at an indoor shooting range south of Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Medical personnel were unable to revive Villalobos at the scene.
