    Why is booking photo not released? That’s weird.
    Is he an undercover cop? Does he have MS 13 tatooed on his forehead? Did he somehow end up with a bruised and bloody face during arrest?

    Whatever happened this jerk took someones life and we should see the creep!

  2. Jim Shorts says:

    Jeanne…right?! At least give us a reason WHY you wouldn’t release his photo.

  3. Jeanne says:

    Maybe they are using him to set up drug dealers and gang members in exchange for a shorter sentence and is only known by his gang name so they don’t want to show his picture?

    You took a life away. You need to rot in hell.. You took a man away from his only son, and an only son and grandson from
    His mother and grandmother.
