In Los Angelos, California , gang member Anthony Garcia’s tattoo lead to a murder conviction. Police were able to put together the pieces of a murder that was tattooed on his chest. The Los Angelos Times reports
“Each key detail was right there: the Christmas lights that lined the roof of the liquor store where 23-year-old John Juarez was gunned down, the direction his body fell, the bowed street lamp across the way and the street sign — all under the chilling banner of RIVERA KILLS, a reference to the gang Rivera-13.
Garcia’s tattoo shows a man with the body of a peanut being hit by bullets and falling back toward the liquor store. In gang slang, the word “peanut” is used to derisively describe a rival gang member.”
