New York<\/strong>.- The United States Department of Justice announced this Tuesday the indictment of two alleged members of the MS-13 gang in Long Island, an area of New York state plagued by gang violence, for the murder of a minor and an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accusations seek to bring justice for the 2016 murders of 15-year-old Miguel Garc\u00eda Mor\u00e1n in Brentwood (Long Island), and of a man who allegedly also belonged to that gang, Carlos Lemus Interiano, in 2023 in Fort Washington (Maryland).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defendants, Edwin Chavez Garay, 25, and Jairo Diaz Gamez, 27, appeared in a Long Island court today after a grand jury included them in a broad indictment against other MS-13 members for racketeering crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities said that Chavez and Diaz are members of a subgroup of MS-13, the gang originating from El Salvador, called Vegas Locos Salvatruchas, and committed the murders as part of a battle between rival gangs as they rose through the ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subjects lured the teenager Garcia, who was Ecuadorian, to a wooded area in Brentwood and “participated<\/strong>” in a deadly beating inflicted with metal bars, “mistakenly” believing he belonged to a rival gang, a statement details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young man studied at the same school as teenagers Nisa Mickens and Kayla Cuevas, who were also murdered by MS-13 members, and whose case led President Donald Trump to come to Long Island to declare war on gangs during his first term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years after the young man’s murder, the defendants, who had risen through the ranks of the Vegas gang, brought Lemus from New York to Maryland, who had “lost the backing<\/strong>” of the gang, and took him to a wooded area where they shot him to death, the note<\/a> details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, they also participated in a plot to kill another former gang member, Carlos Lopez Lopez, in Blue Point (New York), believing he was an informant, a murder for which three other men were charged in the broader indictment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defendants face a maximum of life imprisonment “or the possibility of the death penalty,” the note details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
