Until Thursday his identity had not been disclosed because of an ongoing investigation, said Steve Cole, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office in Tampa.<\/p>\n<p>Another man, Charles Marovskis, 29, of Pennsylvania, was arrested on identical charges Jan. 31. His name was released soon after the arrest.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Justice Department report, Hoover and Marovskis belonged to <strong>Tampa Blood and Honour<\/strong>, a [bonehead] hate group &#8220;whose members espoused the belief that white persons of Aryan descent were the superior race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Group members agree to participate in a &#8220;race war,&#8221; own guns and train in infantry tactics, and to &#8220;demonstrate their loyalty and dedication &#8230; by engaging in acts of violence,&#8221; the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities say Hoover and Marovskis were among a group of <strong>Tampa Blood and Honour<\/strong> members who beat Alfred Williams to death with a tire iron on Sept. 31, 1998.<\/p>\n<p>Then, authorities said, the group used an ax to murder Richard Arsenau in a wooded lot at 320 E Fletcher Ave.<\/p>\n<p><em>The killers considered Arsenau and Williams inferior because they were homeless, according to prosecutors.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to his plea agreement, Hoover &#8220;agrees to cooperate fully with the United States in the investigation and prosecution of other persons&#8221; who helped kill the men.<\/p>\n<p>In exchange, the State Attorney&#8217;s Office will recommend a reduction in Hoover&#8217;s sentence. Both Hoover and Marovskis face death or life in prison and [a] $250,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will not be seeking the death penalty for Hoover because of his cooperation,&#8221; Cole said. &#8220;As far as the other defendant, that&#8217;s still up in the air.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However his sentencing judge can reject the recommendation. If this occurs, Hoover cannot change his plea to not guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Cole said prosecutors plan to bring charges against others involved in the killings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This investigation&#8217;s still open,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We continue to identify other individuals responsible.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pride.
