Anthony Lavato confessed to police on Sunday.
Former Mest singer Tony Lovato, 26, was arrested and jailed Sunday on the suspicion of murder in Los Angeles, after police said that Lovato confessed to the fatal stabbing of a man linked to his ex-girlfriend.
Although spokesperson Lieutenant Alan Hamilton, of the Los Angeles Police Department, would not name the victim, media reports have identified him as 25-year-old Wayne Hughes.
“According to Hamilton, Lovato called 911 and said, 'I've been involved in a fight and can you come here,' after he got into an argument with Hughes in the parking garage of a Studio City apartment complex. During the dispute, Lovato allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed Hughes in the chest several times.”
Lovato was once the lead singer of the pop-punk band Mest, who formed in the mid-'90s and released four albums on Madonna's Maverick Records imprint during Lavato’s time with the band.
