LOS ANGELES â A criminal complaint against two new suspects describes in graphic detail the injuries suffered by a San Francisco Giants fan who was beaten nearly to death outside Dodger Stadium -- including cuts to the victim's face and tongue.
The charges filed Friday against Louie Sanchez, 29, and Marvin Norwood, 30, were announced by Police Chief Charlie Beck as he exonerated a man initially named as the prime suspect.
Sanchez and Norwood were charged with one count each of mayhem, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, and battery with serious bodily injury, all felonies, in the attack on Bryan Stow. Both were being held on $500,000 bail after being arrested Thursday.
Stow, a 42-year-old paramedic, remains hospitalized in serious condition from the attack after the Giants-Dodgers game on opening day, March 31.
The complaint alleged both men personally inflicted great bodily injury on Stow, "causing him to become comatose due to brain injury and to suffer paralysis." The mayhem count alleged that they "did cut and disable the tongue, and put out an eye and slit (Stow's) nose, ear and lip."
Dorene Sanchez, believed to be the sister of Louie Sanchez, had been arrested on suspicion of being an accessory after the fact then released. She was not charged.
A message left at a number for the parents of Sanchez was not returned, and contact details for Norwood's family could not be found.
The arrests came two months after an emotional Beck trumpeted the arrest of the initial suspect Giovanni Ramirez, who was never charged. Despite his exoneration, Ramirez remains jailed on a parole violation.
For months, Beck had steadfastly maintained his confidence that Ramirez was the right suspect.
"In policing, it's just as important to exonerate the innocent as it is to implicate the guilty," Beck said Friday at a terse news conference. "I want to tell the world that Giovanni Ramirez is no longer a suspect in this case."
Beck did not provide details on the evidence against the two men but said more details would be released Monday.
