I think this story is just a “croc”. Can’t even say “Look at them snappers” (”Romancing the Stone”). /sarc
Don’t think it is a Cayman. Snout is too short (so is life for that matter).
Are those Gang Tattoos? Could be interesting.
One way to get them to talk is to not feed the gator for a couple of days, then hold him just under the crotch of each suspect (in separate rooms) and ask them some questions. Wrong answer, no balls. So easy and the gator gets a free dinner.
Yes, looks like gang tats.
