Maybe the perps thought he was in a rival gang due to his tattoos. I guess we'll have to wait to see what the cause of death was. I'm assuming he drowned but who knows.

Edit: I'm guessing the "LV" tattoo was a reference to Las Vegas? Maybe he got into gambling debt with the perp.

The "LV" tattoo might also be referencing Louis Vuitton. The tattoo and the Louis Vuitton logo look the same.
