twitterNationwide alert issued for suspected gang member
Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009 | 10:57 a.m.
Miguel Antonio Padron
The FBI has issued a nationwide alert for Miguel Antonio Padron who is wanted for the murder of a 50-year-old woman and the attempted murder of her 24-year-old son, both of Reno.
The woman, her son, and his children went to get gas at a Reno convenience store on July 25 when three men approached the woman's son, including 22-year-old Padron, the FBI said. The men pursued her son back to his vehicle, where his mother tried to shield her son, the FBI said. Padron allegedly fired a handgun, striking both mother and son.
The woman died at the scene and her son recovered from gunshot wounds to his chest, the FBI said.
Padron has been charged with murder and attempted murder using a firearm, and a state arrest warrant has been issued, the FBI said. A federal arrest warrant has been issued by a U.S. District Court on Aug. 7 after Padron was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Padron was born in California and is 5-foot-6-inches tall, weighs 130 pounds and has black, shaved hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo on his upper right arm, "Itezel," and a tattoo on his left leg, "Brown Pride." The FBI believes he may have fled to Tijuana, Mexico, or Sinaloa, Mexico. Authorities believe he is affiliated with the Brown Pride Locos gang.
Anyone with information on Padron is asked to call the nearest FBI office or nearest American embassy or consulate.

He is a U.S. citizen!
I know you are upset, but latino does not equate to illegal.
Read the story closer. He was born in California, he's an American murderer.
In the next to last paragraph:
"Padron was born in California. . ."
1st generation or third generation Illegal is still an illegal. Deport em all!!
So moron, how many generations does it take to make someone a citizen in your ignorant little mind? Just admit it coward, it isn't about immigration it's about skin color for you.
A typical pseudo-patriot outs himself.
Because you don't understand the history of this country you are IGNORANT.
Because you judge human beings based on skin color you are RACIST.
Because you hide your racism behind immigration arguments you are a COWARD.
Of course this means that all of your "political" arguments about immigration, health care and anything to do with the President are non sense and are part of your pathetic, bigoted world-view. With so many people of other races in the area you must live in a constant state of fear. What a sad way to live.
LV2009, are you implying that you are also illegal? what generation are you?
All the roaches come out to defend each other. Deport all illegals!!!
Another case of "foot in mouth disease" or keyboard fart.
deport LV2009 to the moon. so LV can gain traction on the smartest city list.
LasVegas2009 = Retarded, Racist Ass-clown.
The emphasis of the article and comments should be about the fact that he's a punk ass murdering gang member that should be hung. Doesn't matter what the skin color is. White, Black, Brown, Yellow, Pink and Blue stripes, doesn't matter. A gang member killed two innocent people, and LasVegas2009 goes "Limbaugh" on the guy.
Save your diarrhea of the mouth for the Fox News blog. That way you and your fellow members of the Glen Beck Fan Club can have one big ol' circle jerk.
He may have disguised his appearance, glasses, blond hair, wig? long sleeves to hide his tats, maybe he went to Vegas, maybe he is in town. Isnt that where felons sometimes try to hide? I will keep my eyes out for him, He might be close.
This definitely is a vato the cops should be using for target practice.
Good food and hot women. I love Hispanics.
Comment removed by staff.
How many gangs and members like this are in Las Vegas?
If he threatened my life I'd have no moral problem stopping the threat. I say that because the guy is a criminal and NOT because he is a different color from me.
You people talk about color.join the Army they are all green and they watch each others back.
i see the Las Vegas Sun editors right now sitting back and laughing at the idiotic comments on both sides, but really the racist side and thinking that they are getting more people to their site and articles,,so they wont Remove any comments...Good Job Editors, obviously abusive language is subjective!!!

Another California gang-member(?) high tails it to Mexico....?
Why should that surprise anyone?
THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THE *HOMICIDAL CRIMINALS* RUN (REGARDLESS OF COLOR) BECAUSE MEXICO *WILL NOT EXTRADITE* FOR THE DEATH PENALTY.
I thought everybody knew that...
Call it what you will,Same thing over and over! If you say anything about a mexican(calimexican) or whatever,Your a bad person. So BE IT!! He probably got in touch with his cousin who severly beat the old woman and stole her infinity,Too bad their other kidnapper cousin wasn't fast enough to catch up!
That's not true Spock,
It's when you make general and broad remarks about a certain race, knowing good and damn well that those remarks don't apply to everyone in that race. But if you want to be known as a bad, ignorant, racist jackass...duly noted.
"1st generation or third generation Illegal is still an illegal. Deport em all!!"
What generation are you? Maybe we should deport you out to Englad? Africa (Africa is a country according to Sarah Palin)? China? Japan? Germany? Chile?
We're all a generation, regardless of color, ethnicity, etc. Unless you're a native american, which in that case...Asia.
Wow some of these posts are stupid.
Deport everyone that is not Native American and get us off that list of dumb cities and make LV2009 happy also.
At least Spock is coming out of the bigot closet and owning his racist fears. The next step is him mustering the courage to say something like that in public, I'm guessing that will take a while longer; cowardice predictable that way.
geena, I'm sure your a fine person.That being said, At what point did you or whomever forget the math in all of this? The numbers don't lie,Just add it up! Ignorance is bliss for those who can close their eyes and pretend that the obvious means nothing.
Racists fears? Or pure FACTS!!!
NICE COMMENT WOLF85023,
Thats just how it is,if you wanna make it out!!!You are all green!!!
You have no facts, no history and no logic to back up any of your racist nonsense. All you have is anecdotes - really just a collection of unpleasant stories to stoke your fear.
Read your history. Try to realize that there is a greater context to all of this. This has all been said and done before.
It isn't the skin color that people are mad or make comments over let alone why blame is placed. It is the years of Democrat policies being crammed down our throats and lack of accountability that certain races enjoy.
When you liberals stop providing special privileges to Mexicans and African Americans and hold them to the same standards of life in generals then they'd be treated as such and Americans for the most part will become less frustrated, until then, you've created an unhealthy environment that you own.
It is human nature that when your counterpart is paid the same and produces little to nothing, hostility and anger towards that person is naturally going to occur. On the other hand, if the counterpart isn't producing and can be fired without the fear of being sued or being called a racist then those who angry over the system would no longer be angry.
Take the above person as an example, he doesn't need to work and he knows just that. He has worked the system for years and he has got away with for years. The system the Democrats have designed enabled him to make excuses for his actions and blame others for his choices without being held accountable. If he was held accountable when he first entered the system and harsh punishment was the consequence then he would have realized that, hum if I do wrong then I lose something and I should make a different choice. This isn't the case though, what occurs is poor him, who or what made you do this, we're sorry, we'll make it better for you, now go home and be a good boy.
Under Obama it's going to get worse, his appeasement policies being crammed down our throats just enables even more bad behavior without accountability.
Not to mention, the police know who the criminals are in the areas they patrol and they can't do anything until they catch them in the act. It isn't rocket science who the evil one is or the leader of the pack who is terrorizing the communities. Law enforcement has their hands tied as a result of the Democrats policies and laws enacted so they have no choice but to sit back and be reactive not proactive.
Being political correct and appeasing these thugs that you Democrats have crammed down our throats along with the special privileges you've afforded these people created these animals.

Deep stuff there Merton.
Wave that stupid flag high, bro!
Do these same people post to change someone's mind or to see their right views in print. Maybe not everyone can have an ultra right wing radio or so called TV news show, so this is their sand box.
JahReb:
You must be one of the self centered free loaders I support. Enjoy the freebies for now, they're going away and will become a thing of the past if middle America has our way.
You bet, I am proud of the American Flag and wave it proudly. This is what is wrong with America, they let you in and you have no pride let alone care about America, you want it all for free and you expect it. Now LEAVE, you're not welcome anymore.
If you are one of the affirmative action recipients, stop it and really try to become educated and self supportive and not be one of those that suck off the system for life and not produce anything meaningful or useful. The younger generations follow their leaders and if that is the kind of leadership provided they too will follow in the footsteps.
Always remember, America is the land of opportunity and you create your own destiny. Not me and surely not the system. Have you ever heard of dreams becoming a reality from the system? I would take it that as a yes if that person is the golden child of the Democrats system and I would take that as a No if they were brought up to be accountable for their choices and don't expect something for nothing and nobody owes them anything, do it on their own and earn it.
well white america, you have something called white privilege.
please reference this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nw7Sfj1i...
wake up white america, you guys have it better because you have created a system that supports you and only you.
its2hot,
You moan and cry about the 'system' and pretend that the Democrats are the only party to ever pass a law, like they have total dictatorial power. Do you forget that since 1960 the Republicans have been in power more often than the Democrats? So how are all of your imagined problems solely the fault of the Democrats?
And who exactly 'produces less than you and gets paid the same'? And do you really believe that white people can't sue over labor disputes? What planet do you live on?
And I am glad that the cops can't just assume that they know who the 'evil ones' are: innocent until proven guilty, remember? Police instinct, assumption and prejudice just isn't the way the system is supposed to work. Pseudo-patriots love to talk about the Constitution and 'Original Intent' but when it comes to police powers and the system of justice they all act like they've never even read the Constitution.
bigb - the mexican community has been dealing with racism since 1848. We have all "dealt" with our "fair share." if you would read a history book about mexican/latino history written by a person of color you would see the other side of the coin.
bigb- do you think the white community will fully accept blacks into their community? will you ever be a true equal to them?

Really bigb? Do you think any of the bigots on this board only hate Mexicans? That Mexicans are just SO bad that racists will accept you all of a sudden?
And what do you mean " the black and white communities are coming close to unite against the invaders from the south."???
I didn't hear that one, I guess I didn't get my bigot news letter telling me about this new plan. When is the next meeting so I can attend? You make this sound like a bad episode of OZ or something.
Oh my god, I love OZ and Mexicans LOL - Feel sorry for the family though
adrianhu, blacks don't need to be excepted by whites. Only their money does. With money comes exceptance always has always will be. And as far as equality goes...blacks are already equal to whites. Some blacks and whites still don't know this or don't except it. Thats a shame!
acceptance or expected?
This One Guy:
No moan, I just work with their policies daily and I can't fire their lazy bungers, they are considered tokens of the system and we have no choice but to employ them. Failure to do so results in contract payments being withheld and fines imposed for not having complied with their affirmative requirements. And to top this off when the contract is a Democrat controlled city and they have passed local hiring then this cost is even worse, example Union Station US 101 Alameda, 51% local hiring in drug ridden lazy no good for nothing welfare czars who have never wanted to work and live off the system, sell their crack, employee their relatives performing adult or whatever sick sexual choice one may have, and all other repugnant choices most tree huggers enjoy and we the taxpayers have to provided them with paycheck for doing nothing.
The City's with the worse are San Francisco, Oakland, Pittsburg, Los Angeles, and many others. Hum, sound familiar, Democrats control, wasting billions upon billions on their programs. What are the results, another gene pool raised another one sucking off the system.
You have to be kidding me? What bubble do you live in? This is America the land of affirmative action and they know, why work, can't be fired. If you are that out of touch, get out in the real world and smell the roses or you don't work in business where you are forced to work with the slow, dumb, and lazy. If you're not then guess what, it is very alive and they work the system good. You as a taxpayer pay's where I work in excess of $5 million annually to comply, we build this wasted cost into each budget based on annual volume of sales. We've been dealing with this since Clinton crammed it down our throats and Pelosi and clan adopted it, it has been years upon years and it only gets worse as each generation comes to age knowing they can suck off the system. Get real or get out of the closet.
Me too, but when it slaps them upside the head, he just shot somebody, he has a gun, he ran, the other one is dead, guess what? He is a criminal. In the world of the Democrats, his parents abused, he didn't have a new school building so his education was poor, many years ago somebody in the gene pool was a slave, somebody or something made that choice for him to shoot and kill somebody. He goes into the system, free in a few weeks or months and right back on the street again doing it all over again and again and again. Police keep an eye on him, they're profiling him, ACLU and democrats file suit against department and officer, call it like it is, a career criminal that has no right to coexist with humans anywhere. There is no Dr., no prison, nothing that will ever help this person. Yet, Democrats cram down our throats, help them, save them, give them more and make it our problem. Not my problem put them six feet under and we're safe.
You might be doing well, but if you look at the statistics, your bros and sisters are not doing well.
I guess you are right, when you ignore race as a factor in society, you cannot see it.

While most of your post is a jumbled, rambling mess I understand that you are very frustrated, and I'll take that at face value. I believe that you DO witness unfair practices and inequities and I don't know enough about what you personally are experiencing to speak to it.
Let's just try to keep it in context and remember that everyone involved is a human being.
I read last year somewhere that over 50% of all hispanic gang members in Las Vegas were illegal immigrants. The American Dream, right?
Anybody know where I can get a decent taco around here? This is the right board, right?
bam, could you please share the reference you mentioned. i hope it is not lou dobbs, he sometimes manipulates statistics.

What's the difference between this punk with a "brown pride" tattoo and the arian brother with a "white power" tattoo? Nothing right? If the victims are not "brown" it should be considered a hate crime!
There is no real difference. Just like there is no difference between the racist garbage that the "arYans" spew and the racist garbage YOU spew.
Sorry for the misspell GuyGirl,Do you not agree that it should be considered a hate crime? You know the "your a racist and a bigot" is pretty cute but becomes quite stale at times.I guess that's just the defense mechanism used when legitimate questions or fact's are presented and can't be explained.
"geena, I'm sure your a fine person.That being said, At what point did you or whomever forget the math in all of this? The numbers don't lie,Just add it up! Ignorance is bliss for those who can close their eyes and pretend that the obvious means nothing".
Ignorance is also bliss when you're just plain silly. Read my post AGAIN and try to decipher if you can. Basically, let me try to explain...You ignorantly and stupidly condemn an entire race because of the ones that are degenerates and happen to be of that race. Now who's eyes are closed?
If they can prove that the crime was a racially motivated crime, (and yes, the brown pride tattoo would go a long way towards proving that) then I am all for prosecuting him for a hate crime as well.
People of other races are often prosecuted for hate crimes. Federal stats show that in 2007 about 47 percent of hate crime offenders were not white.

The guy is undoubtedly a puke and deserves to rot in prison - but because of his behavior NOT his skin color or ethnicity or even immigration status.
geena and OneGuy, If you guy's could, Would you end illegal immigration? Would you close the border to all people coming over illegally no matter what race or country of origin,Sending those who do back? Just curious.
As long as there were mechanisms in place to allow for a reasonable amount of Legal immigration then I think I would close the borders to illegal immigration. Deporting people who are already living here however I am not in favor of.
Now let me ask You something:
If there was a one time blanket immigration amnesty passed tomorrow, (regardless of your opinion about the amnesty law itself) would you accept those new citizens as Americans and equals?
And did anyone notice Thumper is gone and so are all of his posts? Is that what happens when you tick the Sun Staff off? Gone down the Orwellian memory hole?
Well good riddance to him anyway.
Oh ca mon.. he looks like an outstanding citizen
"geena and OneGuy, If you guy's could, Would you end illegal immigration? Would you close the border to all people coming over illegally no matter what race or country of origin,Sending those who do back? Just curious".
Well, Spock, yes I would close the border to ALL people coming over into the US illegally from any means (and it's not just Mexicans, they just happen to be the target right now). Granted, it's not their fault their country is crap, but as Americans we can't afford to take care of everybody, especially in today's economy.
hey spock, are you serious? end ILLEGAL immigration? hell yes! the key word being ILLEGAL, as in NOT LEGAL. and geena, it is their fault that their own country is crap. it's crap there so they come here illegally and sponge off us. anyone who supports illegal immigration is either an illegal immigrant or has family that is. i'm all for immigration, LEGAL immigration.
"i'm all for immigration, LEGAL immigration."
No you're not. The moment you see thousands of legal immigrants taking jobs of Americans you'll be screaming "NO MORE!!!! GET THEM OUT!!!"
You should care about Immigration status about like you would someones car registration status. Do you froth and foam when you see a expire license plate on a car? Bureaucratic paperwork.
And no one will answer me about the amnesty question. If there was an amnesty - whether or not you favor the actual amnesty - would you accept the new citizens as Americans? If not then you need to consider the fact that you might be a racist.
"hey spock, are you serious? end ILLEGAL immigration? hell yes! the key word being ILLEGAL, as in NOT LEGAL. and geena, it is their fault that their own country is crap. it's crap there so they come here illegally and sponge off us. anyone who supports illegal immigration is either an illegal immigrant or has family that is. i'm all for immigration, LEGAL immigration".
Did you read my entire post or just start writing poop because you sounded good to you?
I've seen this guy. He's over at EL LOBO'S house doing yard work.
EL LOBO time to cough him up and start pulling your own weeds.
geena, why would i ever bother to read your entire post? you're a moron. too stupid to even be pedantic (look it up).
Ahh, thumper, No I didn't notice. Maybe he got a job or something, So I dont know if I could recognize this person if he shaved his head, and beard, and changed his brow so it didn't protrude so much. I will be looking for him, forever. Let's see, I will start with cl in tj. put his picture out, and offer a reward, my olds, or the wife, but not my dog. You have to haul them out yourself. They both need towing. Actually, my olds is a better deal, although the wife still has a few miles left on her odometer.
Find this piece of &%$#, one quick silver bullet to the head..wait a minute this guy isn't worth the cost of a silver bullet.. Find him and feed him to the sharks in the aquarium and give the family of the victims front row seats!!
"geena, why would i ever bother to read your entire post? you're a moron. too stupid to even be pedantic (look it up)".
