The tattoo of a gang crime reveals

Police in the Californian city of Pico Rivera worked for years to solve a murder in 2004, until he found the chest of a gang a detailed picture of crime that eventually incriminate him. As reported by the Los Angeles Times, detectives from Pico Rivera, a largely Hispanic city, could not believe their eyes when asked Anthony Garcia, a gang member Rivera 13 to be shirtless to routinely take some pictures .

Garcia was arrested in 2008 in a traffic stop on suspicion of driving without a license, but to expose his torso revealed a greater crime. Printed on his chest, was the detailed picture of crime in which police were working without success for four years, the murder of a rival gang member, John Johnson, 23.

The tattoo, whose image was provided by the LAPD, containing all the details of the crime, the Christmas lights at the dates of the murder, the name of the street, the liquor store where the event occurred and even the position the fall of the boy's body after receiving gunshot wounds. On the image, the words came labeled 'Rivera Kills', referring to the murder committed by the gang he belonged to Anthony Garcia.

In the drawing, the shots came from a small helicopter or 'chopper', in English, the alias was known García. The body of murdered teenager had been well characterized as a peanut, referring to what they call the members of the rival gang ("peanut" in English). Thanks to the tattoo, the Police could reopen the investigation and obtain a quick confession of Anthony Garcia, which was being charged and he was finally convicted of first degree murder, which has now occurred.
