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 (pictured above) could face life in prison for his role in the 2004 shooting at a Pico Rivera liquor store.
Garcia eluded police until 2008 when he was picked up for driving with a suspended license. Suspecting that he was an active member of the Rivera-13 gang, police then photographed his tattoos and took a mugshot.
While looking for leads on an entirely different crime, Det. Sgt. Kevin Lloyd came across Garcia's picture in the mug book when something struck him: "it looked like a murder from way back when." He then drove to the liquor store named on Garcia's tattoo and cross-referenced with the old case file.
Lloyd was so struck by the detailed accuracy of the tattoo that he called it a "crime scene sketch and a confession."

Apparently he used an attack helicopter.
Know what really is interesting- ?
The detective that looked into ..then cross referenced
the crime from 4 years PRIOR!
real dedication to get these murderers off the street-
this loser never thought the police would still be searching for him.
Thanks LAPD!
There’s someone who made himself unemployable. I’m more likely to get a job in the future than he is.
Stupid Vato gangsta.
I grew up several blocks from that liquor store. Used to be a majority white town back in the 60’s and 70’s, not so much today. Why, I even worked at that liqour store for a few months as a college kid.
Well, at least he won’t be spreading around his DNA if it’s in jail — may he stay there for a long long long time...
(Unless he goes on California’s Early Release program with the other 10,000 offenders, some of them VIOLENT, that the courts have ordered released).
“Well, at least he won’t be spreading around his DNA if it’s in jail”
Not too sure about that. . . ewwwww. . .
I know this is a year-old thread, but I just had to comment on those dead, dead eyes.
dead eyes - and behind the there’s NOBODY HOME....
Too true.
