Gang banger caught on MySpace

by Trench on October 27th, 2007

Murder suspect identified through gang’s MySpace page:
Oakland police used a gang’s MySpace page to catch 19-year-old Dwayne Stancil. Stancil is accused in the shooting death of 17-year-old Greg Ballard Jr., a football player for San Leandro High School.

Investigators developed some information about the assailant but didn’t identify Stancill as the suspect until they found his picture on a gang’s page on MySpace, the online social-networking site, said Officer Roland Holmgren, Oakland police spokesman.

Stancil is also the son of a San Lendro police detective.

I was unable to find a definitive MySpace for Stancil.
