PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Court records revealed that a fourth suspect has been arrested in connection to the brutal murder of a Phoenix man last month. According to arresting documents, 21-year-old Christopher Ibarra was arrested on Monday in connection to the death of 30-year-old Bernardo Pantaleon. Ibarra was arrested on Tuesday, but no details surrounding his arrest were immediately released. On Nov. 26, Pantaleon’s body was found with “significant trauma” on a trail near Mountain View Park, near 7th and Peoria avenues. Court paperwork revealed that he had been shot multiple times and that his body was mutilated. Injuries extended from his head into his neck and torso areas. Pantaleon’s family said he was found naked, beaten, and brutally tortured, so bad that detectives asked loved ones not to see him in that condition. Family members believe he was a victim of a targeted hate crime because he was gay. Phoenix police have already arrested three other men in connection with the killing: Jose Rodriguez, 20, along with Leonardo Santiago and Manuel Carrasco-Calderon, who are both 21. While Santiago is the suspected killer, all four are facing first-degree murder charges. Authorities haven’t released details on Ibarra’s involvement. Ibarra has been booked into the Maricopa County jail on a $2 million cash-only bond.

(Why does the headline trumpet the fact that the victim was a poofter?)

Because the Godless Reprobate Liberal Media
must always generate sympathy for
the Godless Reprobate Liberal Agendas.

Ever since their false prophet was anointed.

It's amazing how much this agenda is all over the world 🌎🌍 - just as prophesied, though

I refuse to join in celebrating this agenda like Bud Light does

So, how many of them had sex with the victim at some point before this happened, and how much meth was involved?

Execute them all if proven guilty beyond any doubt! There must be justice for this victim.

Would not be surprised that victim being gay was a motivation for the crime. But from what I’ve read it is likely the perps are also gay and this was a relationship crime.

Domestic violence among them is high.

Male dressed like female entice 4 dumb guys. When he reveals himself as an intact male. They kill, tear up the body and “mutilate”(code for castrate) the human.

Castration equals “mutilation” in murder cases-—”gender affirmation” in “healthcare” business.

Professing themselves to be wise....they became fools.

Under questioning from police — and after being read his Miranda rights — Santiago claimed that he killed Pantaleon after “an unwanted advance made him uncomfortable.”

However, the investigation into Castillo’s death uncovered information leading prosecutors to believe that Santiago lured Castillo through the popular Snapchat app by arranging a sexual encounter with his victim.

“According to court documents in the Castillo murder, Santiago said he arranged to meet with Castillo with the intent of robbing him, in order to be recognized and earn respect from his fellow members of the North Side 15th Avenue street gang.

The gang members had a group chat in which they reportedly made homophobic comments and asserted that homosexuals weren’t allowed in the city’s north side, which they consider their territory”.

I used to live where he met up with him and where they found his body area. Whole West side of Phoenix has become dangerous gangs.

Those gang members already knew what he was. The talked about it on social media. The news was saying it is this gangs initiation. They lured him out there on a social chat.

Phoenix on the west side. Full of South of the border peeps, drug cartel mules and violent gangs.

The gang member who killed him said on social media to his other gang friends he was going to go kill him. Set up a meeting with him to do so. The gangs motto is no gays in their territory. He already knew about the guy aforehand.

Makes sense. What I don’t understand is why they’re calling this a gay murder, and not a tranny murder. He wasn’t transgender, he just liked to have sex with straight guys?

For a second I thought this happened in Dublin, Ireland; the largest public park there is called the Phoenix Park.
