   PHOENIX – Court documents are revealing some shocking details   
   surrounding the death of a man in the West Valley.   
      
   The incident, which is being called a "brutal murder," happened on   
   Nov. 26, but the suspects were arrested over the weekend.   
      
   Here's what to know about the case.   
      
   Who are the suspects?   
   Court documents identified the suspects as:   
      
   Manuel Carrasco Calderon, 21   
      
   Jose David Rodriguez, 20   
      
   Leonardo Santiago, 21   
      
   What did the three allegedly do?   
   The incident, as mentioned above, happened on Nov. 26.   
      
   According to investigators, Phoenix Police officers responded to a   
   public park in the area of 7th Avenue and Cinnabar Avenue, after   
   someone reported that a person was injured and possibly dead in the   
   area.   
      
   Court documents state the victim was found dead in the desert area   
   northeast of the park. While court documents we received did not   
   name the victim, police have identified the victim as 30-year-old   
   Bernardo Pantaleon.   
      
   Investigators said Pantaleon was found partially obscured behind or   
   underneath a small tree, and appeared to have been shot multiple   
   times.   
      
   "[The victim's] body was mutilated, postmortem, with a sharp-edged   
   object," read a portion of the court documents.   
      
   On Nov. 30, court documents state that the victim's family members   
   received two photographs via a social media site, one of which   
   showed a person flipping their middle finger, and the other showing   
   the victim's mutilated body. In Rodriguez's court documents,   
   investigators state that the photos were sent from Rodriguez's   
   social media account.   
      
   Eventually, investigators said they found a group   
   thread/conversation in regards to looking for Pantaleon, and wanting   
   to rob and kill him. On Nov. 25, one of the defendants said in the   
   chat that he was "going to get the victim tonight."   
      
   "Members of the chat repeatedly asked for updates, lamented they   
   were not invited, asked to see video/photograph proof, and one co-   
   defendant offered to hide the codefendant, or shooter, after the   
   murder was completed," read a portion of the court documents. "A few   
   days later, all co-defendants discussed how the news was covering   
   the story. Some made derogatory remarks regarding the victim's   
   sexuality, and a derogatory statement about homosexuals not being   
   allowed in the northside."   
      
   "Several things associated with the profiles in the chat, to include   
   XV and 15 in their usernames, along with repeatedly referring to   
   themselves as gang (sic), indicate the defendant and codefendants   
   were involved in a criminal street gang," read a portion of the   
   court documents.   
      
   The suspects, police say were arrested on Dec. 2.   
      
   What did the suspects say following their arrests?   
      
   Calderon and Rodriguez   
   In court documents for both Calderon and Sanchez, investigators   
   state the defendants admitted, after they were read their Miranda   
   rights, to knowing that a co-defendant was planning to kill   
   Pantaleon, but did not do anything about it. The two also admitted   
   it was wrong to not say anything.   
      
   The two, according to court documents, also admitted to discussing   
   various aspects of the murder, including when, where, and how it   
   would be done. Videos and photographs were also passed around.   
      
   In Carrasco's court documents, investigators state that the   
   defendant who shot Pantaleon contacted him after the murder and   
   asked for help. Investigators said Carrasco used a knife with a   
   brass knuckle handle to mutilate Pantaleon's body.   
      
   In Rodriguez's court documents, investigators said Rodriguez   
   admitted to receiving photographs from the person who shot   
   Pantaleon, but denied sending the photos to Pantaleon's family, even   
   though the photos were sent from his social media profile.   
      
   Santiago   
   In his court documents, investigators said that Santiago admitted to   
   knowing the victim, after denying it first.   
      
   Santiago, according to police, initially claimed the murder happened   
   due to an "unwanted advance" that made the suspect uncomfortable,   
   but he later changed his story, and blamed a third person.   
      
   "[Santiago] provided only a first name, and could not provide a way   
   of contacting this person, commenting this person just shows up,   
   indicating as if it was out of thin air," read a portion of the   
   court documents.   
      
   Court documents for Santiago state that Santiago admitted to being   
   present when the victim was mutilated. He claimed it was a co-   
   defendant's idea, but that was contradicted by the co-defendant in
