 [L.A. County Sheriffs photo of a 22-year-old Pico Rivera gangster Anthony Garcia, with a tattoo of the scene of a liquor store murder that had puzzled deputies for more than four years. All the details of the unsolved killing right there on the killers chest: the Christmas lights that lined the roof of the liquor store where 23-year-old John Juarez was gunned down, the direction the shots were fired, the bowed street light across the way and the street name, all sketched out under a chilling banner: RIVERA KILLS, a reference to Rivera-13, the mans gang. As if to seal the deal, below the collarbone of the gang member known by the alias ÒChopperÓ was a miniature helicopter raining down bullets on the scene. The 2008 discovery was the beginning of a bizarre investigation that sent sheriffs investigators, posing as gang members, into Anthony Garcias cell posing as fellow gangsters. There they got a jailhouse admission that this week led to a conviction in a killing that investigators had all but lost hope on solving. Photo by L.A. County Sheriff.] *** []  

Killer got $30,000 in unemployment while in jail, officials say

Anthony Garcia had family and friends cash his $1,600-a-month unemployment checks while he served time, L.A. County sheriff’s officials said. Fellow gang members got part, they said.

A convicted killer who got caught because he’d tattooed a graphic mural of the murder scene on his chest raked in more than $30,000 in unemployment benefits while he sat in the Los Angeles County jail system, a sheriff’s spokesman said.
