Eduardo Alvarez is a fan of bigot and gang leader Elvis Baktashi, who went on to perform a vigilante murder in his name.

History[]

Idolizing Baktashi, he gathered some of like-minded friends to do vigilante work. This resulted in Alvarez leading them to torture and murder Lonnie Liston in a lynching out of suspicion of the kidnapping and murder of Muslim coworker Ceranda Zajmi.

In reality, Alvarez was manipulated by Roy Eastman, Liston's racist parole officer, to kill Liston for dating Eastman's stepdaughter, McKenna Jensen. Liston was already set up for Ceranda's murder by blackmailing Sam Johnson, brother of ex-con Antonio Johnson, to kill her and frame Liston.

Alvarez and his accomplices were arrested and found guilty of lynching and conspiracy and imprisoned for life. (SVU: "Welcome to the Pedo Motel")
