   PHOENIX - Court documents reveal shocking details surrounding the   
   death of 30-year-old Bernardo Pantaleon.   
      
   Police say three members of a criminal street gang have been   
   arrested in Pantaleon's murder over his sexuality.   
      
   Family and friends are working on a memorial and balloon release to   
   honor Pantaleon.   
      
   His cousin describes him as brave and beautiful. He says, although   
   the suspects are behind bars, it's still not enough.   
      
   "He cared for everybody first before himself and he was just so   
   brave. I envied him for that," Juan Pantaleon, his cousin, said.   
      
   He says Bernardo was vibrant and full of life.   
      
   "I was proud of him for living his truth, but unfortunately, now   
   that we know, this is the most heartbreaking thing, that is what   
   cost him his life," Juan said.   
      
   Pantaleon's body was found Nov. 26 at Mountain View Park in north   
   Phoenix.   
      
   Three young men were arrested.   
      
   They are Manuel Carrasco Calderon, 21, Jose David Rodriguez, 20,   
   Leonardo Santiago, 21. Police say they are all members of the North   
   Side 15th Avenue gang.   
      
   "We're glad that the guys are caught, but it's not enough because we   
   know they'll go away to prison for these two things and not get what   
   they deserve," Juan said.   
      
   Court documents reveal Santiago shot and killed Pantaleon. He   
   admitted to killing him because the victim made an unwanted advance   
   that made Santiago uncomfortable.   
      
   Detectives say the three men made remarks about "homosexuals not   
   being allowed in the north side."   
      
   "He ultimately shot the victim multiple times, killing him, leaving   
   him, returning an hour later with his codefendant, Manual Carrasco,   
   who then mutilated the victim's body, causing the most grotesque   
   injuries that one can imagine," a prosecutor said during the   
   suspects' court appearances on Dec. 3.   
      
   Investigators say Santiago then took photos and videos of   
   Pantaleon's body. Police say Rodriguez sent photos to Pantaleon's   
   family and also offered to hide Santiago.   
      
   Calderon is being held on a million-dollar bond. Bail is set for   
   Rodriguez at $500,000. Santiago is being held on a $2 million bond.   
      
   "The charges that have been outlined by the affiants speak for   
   themselves. What the court cannot see is the horrific mutilation   
   that this defendant caused on the victim's body and the apparent joy   
   that he and his codefendant who is up next derived from inflicting   
   this brutality on this deceased victim whom the codefendants just an   
   hour earlier savagely murdered," the prosecutor said.   
      
   Juan says he is heartbroken knowing the person he looked up to for   
   being himself was killed for that very reason.   
      
   "They targeted him because he was gay. They killed him because he   
   was gay. They then proceeded to dump his corpse in the desert   
   because he was gay, then mutilate his corpse again because he was   
   gay. Leave, come back, cut him up some more, take pictures of it,   
   and post it on social media saying, 'gays aren't welcome in the   
   north side,' yet they are only being charged with mutilating a   
   corpse and murder. It's not enough," Juan said.
