TMZ has learned the mystery third person who was there when Mark Ruffalo's brother was shot in the head has a criminal past.
Kristian Muradaz was arrested for DUI in August of last year and received probation -- which he later violated. The violation earned him 14 days behind bars, which he served earlier this year.
As we first reported, Muradaz was arrested for attempted murder (Scott was still alive when Muradaz was put in custody), but he was released without being charged.

I really do hate to sterotype people (yes i'm being sarcastic) but this dude looks like a criminial. he probably also a drug dealer and "dates" multiple women at the same time while his "girlfriend" sits at home trying to justify to herself that he's really a good guy.
I don't know about you, but he looks like a dirt bag.

TMZ - is that his mugshot, or did you dig up his headshot? That is one weird pose. Only in Hollywood would a guy being booked for attempted murder do the 'paris hilton' half-turn, chin down look.

The 'mug shot',
The fact he was released,
The year and a half old DUI...
Just doesn't hang together to make him a murder suspect.

"Criminal Past"? It was a single DUI. Doesn't exactly make him Charles Manson. I'm guessing half the TMZ staff has a criminal past if that's all it takes.

Well, I'll tell you what I do think he is guilty of: 1.) Having a bad permanent eyeliner job done at an Asian nail salon/cosmetic surgery center. 2.) Looking like a gay porn star

Thank you #6 and #7. Finally! - people who actually realize that all this media does is flips things around and manipulates you to believe bs. The rest of you who are talking smack are far too gullible. Obviously police wouldnt have released this guy if they honestly believed he did it. and by the way, a DUI is barely enough to claim he's a criminal. So stop the negativity, until things clear up on what really happened to poor Scott Ruffalo. (mi mas sentido pesame to the Ruffalo family)

Jason Kidd? I thought he was just a wife beater.

Since when did a DUI mean you have a criminal past? It's a non-violent misdemeanor (Unless it happens more than once). I am not saying it's a good thing but aren't you guys digging a little too deep. Is celeb news that sparse today?

So what the hell? The police are just going to leave it go with the word of nasty mole face and party boy. They said dude was shot in the back of the head. That's not how you plat Russian Roulette. This story reeks of fowl play. I guess because sista girl's family is the wealthiest in the world the police are just going to back off. Give me a break. Scott and his family deserve some justice. This story pisses me off.

Did anyone here actually know Ruffalo or Muradaz or any of the principle people involved in the case? Would lo speak with anyone who might have some insight. I am a Beverly Hills reporter, and we're trying to keep this case open to get to the bottom. Email reporterbh@gmail.com if you have any factual knowledge of the event or the people involved. Thanks.
