From what I remember, he had a tattoo of Mongols on his back? Am I right?

Manny was an amazing, kind-hearted person who is survived by his soul-mate and beautiful daughters. I am still in shock about his death. It warrent's me to say how the media is attempting to portray him as part of a bike gang. Manny was the type of person who made friends with everyone, regardless of race, class, ethnicity, or affiliation. He was that lovable of a man. I will miss him dearly.

was he a Mongol yes or no, if he was then he was part of a biker gang and if he wasn't then he's not from a biker gang.

I've been supportive of the authors of the Homicide Report in the past, but it seems to me you're getting sloppy. Can't you do the man the respect of identifying him by name within the blog itself rather than by linking to a news story which identifies him by name and which will not be accessible for long? Can't you give his age, residence and race, as has been the invariable practice for other homicide victims? These details are more important to the public than the entirely speculative possibility that he might be a member of a motorcycle gang.

He was not part of a biker gang. He was a Husband, a Father, a Brother, and a dear friend. He was loved by many, and will be greatly missed.
