LOS ANGELES – A California gang member was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder after authorities say a tattoo on his chest depicting the murder scene led to his apprehension.
25-year-old Anthony Garcia could face life in prison for his role in the 2004 shooting at a Pico Rivera liquor store.
Det. Sgt. Kevin Lloyd was so struck by the detailed accuracy of the tattoo that he called it a ”crime scene sketch and a confession.”
Garcia’s tattoo captured the night of the shooting, from the Christmas lights outside the liquor store to the bent light post in the store’s parking lot to the convalescent home called the Rivera, next door to the liquor store.
The scene shows a chopper spraying bullets on a victim. Garcia’s gang nickname is “Chopper.”
The victim, John Juarez, is depicted as a Mr. Peanut. The peanut is commonly used as a symbol of a rival gang in Pico Rivera, Lloyd said. The crime scene is under a tattoo on Garcia’s neck that reads “Rivera Kills.” Full Article
