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, Pantaleons 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. Pantaleons 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.
