Anthony (Tony) Lovato of the pop-punk band Mest was arrested Sunday for allegedly stabbing to death the new boyfriend of his ex-lover, a man named Wayne Hughes. The altercation took place inside a parking garage and sources say the two had an earlier scuffle, ultimately proving deadly for the 25-year-old victim. The police were called to Studio City where the man lay bleeding to death from pocketknife wounds to his chest.
Los Angeles police from the North Hollywood station were called to the 10900 block of Bluffside Drive at 8:05 a.m. and found a man lying in the parking lot with stab wounds in his chest, said LAPD Officer Mike Lopez. He later died in the hospital paramedics rushed him to. Lovato, 26, was then arrested and was cooperative, Lopez said. “It’s believed the victim and Lovato were involved in a verbal dispute, possibly over a girlfriend,” Lopez said. “That’s when the suspect whipped out a knife.” Lovato is being held on $1 million bail. Mest, a four-member Illinois based band, that formed in the mid-1990s, released several albums on Madonna’s Maverick label and performed on the Warped Tour, a touring music and extreme sports festival, in 2003.
The band broke up in 2006…and now punk rock gothic emo’s will be sobbing throughout the world. I bet he’s crossing those fingers for a good defense attorney!
