(Bloomberg) — Alfred Villalobos, a former California Public Employees' Retirement System board member scheduled to stand trial on conspiracy and bribery charges, has died in a Nevada gun club of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He was found Tuesday afternoon alone in a room at a Reno gun club, Reno Police Department spokesman Tim Broadway said.
Police are investigating Villalobos's death as a suicide, Broadway said. "He shot himself," the police spokesman said.
Villalobos, founder and managing director of Arvco Capital Research LLC, was scheduled to face trial February 23 in San Francisco. He was charged with conspiring with former Calpers Chief Executive Officer Federico Buenrostro to trick the pension fund into paying millions of dollars in fees for a $3 billion investment into funds managed by Apollo Global Management LLC.
