   In recent days, we have reported on the killing of 30-year-old Bernardo   
   Pantaleon. Investigators say the man was found dead in the area of a   
   park near 7th Avenue and Cinnabar on Nov. 26.   
      
   "[The victim's] body was mutilated, postmortem, with a sharp-edged   
   object," read a portion of the court documents.   
      
   Four people have been arrested in connection with the murder. The   
   incident may involve an anti-LGBT element, as court documents state that   
   a group chat involving the suspects had "derogatory remarks regarding   
   the victim's sexuality, and a derogatory statement about homosexuals not   
   being allowed in the northside."   
      
   In all, four people have been arrested, and one of the suspects is now   
   linked by police to a second murder that happened months prior.   
      
   Here are the details.   
      
   Who's the suspect?   
      
   According to a statement released on Dec. 8, 21-year-old Leonardo   
   Santiago is linked to the murder of 20-year-old Osvaldo Hernandez   
   Castillo.   
      
   What happened?   
   Investigators said Castillo's murder happened in March 2023.   
      
   According to court documents, officers responded to the area of 24th   
   Avenue and Mission Lane on the afternoon of March 20 for what was   
   described as an "emergency radio call of unknown trouble."   
      
   "Officers arrived on the scene and located relatives of the victim next   
   to the victim's vehicle," read a portion of the documents. "The victim   
   was seated in the driver's seat with a gunshot wound to his head."   
      
   Castillo, investigators say, was declared dead at the scene. A   
   postmortem examination also found a gunshot wound to the back of   
   Castillo's head, as well as Castillo's back, indicating he was shot from   
   behind.   
      
   By August, police gained access to Castillo's mobile phone, and data   
   from the phone showed that Castillo used Snapchat as a form of   
   communication. It also revealed a Snapchat conversation between Castillo   
   and another user.   
      
   "The messages between the two accounts indicated they intended to meet   
   up for a sexual encounter," read a portion of the documents, which also   
   notes that the other person in the conversation gave Castillo an address   
   in the area of 22nd Avenue and Mission Lane, the "last location the   
   victim's device was at before the homicide."   
      
   "It is believed the victim was engaged in a sexual encounter with a male   
   at or around the time of his murder," investigators state.   
      
   Court documents state that a person who was caught in connection with an   
   unrelated case told investigators that Santiago posted a video of him   
   killing another man, while the man was seated inside a car. The identity   
   of the person who gave that information to investigators was redacted   
   from court documents.   
      
   After Santiago's arrest, investigators said they searched his mobile   
   phone, and found a video of the victim's murder.   
      
   "On December 7, 2023, [Santiago] was interviewed at Phoenix Police   
   Headquarters. [Santiago] confirmed he communicated with the victim using   
   the Snapchat account," investigators wrote. "Leonardo admitted he shot   
   and killed the victim. [Santiago] confirmed he recorded the incident   
   with his cellular device."   
      
   Santiago, according to investigators, eventually said the "motive for   
   shooting and killing the victim was to be recognized by others in the   
   North Side XV gang, money, and marijuana."   
      
   "[Santiago] also said he told the victim to ‘give me everything you   
   got,’ and pointed the handgun at the victim. The victim attempted to   
   conceal a cellular device, possibly attempting to call for help.   
   [Santiago] then discharged two rounds from the handgun at the victim,"   
   investigators wrote.   
      
   Phoenix Police officials have determined that the murders of Pantaleon   
   and Castillo are unrelated to each other.   
      
   What is Santiago being accused of now?   
   In addition to allegations related to Panteleon's murder, Santiago is   
   now accused of a count of 1st Degree Murder in connection with   
   Castillo's death.   
      
   A judge has set a cash-only bond of $2 million for Santiago, and a   
   preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 18.
