Giovanni Ramirez, the man arrested in connection with the Bryan Stow beating, is associated with a Los Angeles street gang, police announced Monday.
Ramirez, 31, who is on parole for a number of convictions, is associated with the Varrio Nuevo Estrada gang -- just one of 34 gangs located in the East LA area, Det. Jose Carillo told CNN.
The arrest of a suspect in the Stow case was announced Sunday during a news conference that took place as the scene of the crime, Dodger Stadium.

Police were given a tip by a parole officer who thought Ramirez resembled one of the men in a police sketch released in the case.
Stow, 42, was attacked after leaving a Giants vs. Dodgers game on opening day, and was rendered unconscious when he was blindsided by a punch to the back of the head. Two men proceeded to pummel and kick him in the head as he lay unconscious on the pavement. Ramirez is believed to be the main aggressor of the two suspects.
The assailants fled in a four-door sedan with a woman and male child about 10 years of age, according to witnesses. Police are still searching for the man and the woman involved in the attack.
