   > They should have killed his family too.   
      
   Three suspects have been arrested in the killing of a Phoenix man whose   
   friends and family allege was targeted because of his sexual orientation,   
   authorities said.   
      
   The body Bernardo Pantaleon, 30, was found dead in a city park. Court   
   records indicated he had been shot and later mutilated.   
      
   The suspects were arrested Saturday and are being held on bonds ranging   
   from $500,000 to $2 million. One of the men is charged with first-degree   
   murder, while the other two are facing conspiracy charges. Lawyers for the   
   men did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment about the   
   charges.   
      
   Police said the suspects sent photos of Pantaleon's body to his family   
   members.   
      
   On Nov. 26, Pantaleon's body was found with "significant trauma" on a   
   trail near Mountain View Park, CBS affiliate KPHO-TV reported. Pantaleon's   
   family said he was found naked, beaten and brutally tortured, so bad that   
   detectives asked loved ones not to see him in that condition.   
      
   Pantaleon's friends and family have said they believe he was the victim of   
   a hate crime because he was gay and often wore glamorous clothing. Police   
   investigators said the suspects - all in their early 20s - planned to rob   
   Pantaleon and then kill him.   
      
   Detectives said they reviewed social media messages between the three   
   suspects in which they allegedly discussed and planned Pantaleon's   
   killing.   
      
   "Some made derogatory remarks regarding the victim's sexuality and a   
   derogatory statement about homosexuals not being allowed" in Phoenix's   
   northside, according to a probable cause statement.   
      
   Police said the suspects were interviewed and acknowledged the plan to   
   kill Pantaleon.   
      
   According to court paperwork, Santiago admitted to police he killed   
   Pantaleon after "an unwanted advance made him uncomfortable," KPHO-TV   
   reported.   
      
   "He ultimately shot the victim several times, killing him, leaving him,   
   and returning an hour later with his codefendant Manuel Carrasco, who then   
   mutilated the victim's body," said an attorney on behalf of the state.   
      
   Pantaleon's family has launched a GoFundMe, which has raised over $5,600   
   as of Wednesday morning.   
      
   KPHO-TV reported that Pantaleon's death shares similarities to a high-   
   profile unsolved murder of another gay man from Phoenix -- Benjamin   
   Anderson -- who was murdered and tortured in January 2022.   
      
   While Phoenix police are investigating Pantaleon's murder, the Maricopa   
   County Sheriff's Office is probing Anderson's murder and is aware of the   
   similarities as both investigations continue, the station reported.   
      
   The Anti-Defamation League and GLAAD documented 356 anti-LGBTQ+ nationwide   
   incidents motivated by hate between June 2022 and April 2023, according to   
   a study released in June.
