Three alleged MS-13 members have been charge with murder, racketeering conspiracy and drug trafficking in connection with the death last year of a homeless Maryland man, acccording to the Justice Department.
“The brutal retaliatory murder of this victim is a chilling reminder of the MS-13 gang’s callous disregard for human life,” U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes for the District of Maryland said last week in announcing the charges.
He also said the killing was in exchange for drugs and promotions within the gang.
La Mara Salvatrucha, MS-13, is an international criminal gang formed by Salvadoran immigrants in Los Angeles during the 1980s.
