Suspected gang members arrested, charged in murder of Brentwood teens

In a court appearance Thursday morning prosecutors said Alvarez-Flores gave a statement to police admitting that he was the leader of the MS 13 gang and he was acting on orders from someone else to kill Genesis.

Investigators found a connection to a series of murders in the Brentwood area last year, including those of 16-year-old Kayla Cuevas and 15-year-old Nisa Mickens.

“They’re evil. They’re coming over the border, then coming back after they get kicked out”, she said.

Lainez-Murcia was ambushed and shot outside his home “because he was deemed to be ‘chavala, ‘ or enemy of the MS-13” after bragging that he had assassinated gang members in El Salvador, the feds say. Investigators still are looking for a couple of people who are under arrest; 13 are being charged in total in this case.

The foursome were riding in a auto on September 13 and looking for people who had wronged them when they came upon the two girls, authorities said.

The 14-year-old told prosecutors that gang members kidnapped her February 2 and held her captive for 18 days, sexually assaulting her and forcing her to ingest drugs and alcohol so she was always intoxicated, KTRK-TV reported. Cuevas ran for her life but was bludgeoned and stabbed after her attackers caught up to her inside a fenced-in backyard.

“For far too long on Long Island, members of the MS-13 have been meting out their own death penalty”, Robert Capers, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District, said at. Police said both had been severely beaten-Mickens to the point of being unrecognizable.

After a five-month investigation, more than a dozen MS-13 gang members have been charged with seven murders, including those of three teenagers from Brentwood in Suffolk County.

Pena-Hernandez was an alleged MS-13 gang member who was lured to the grounds of an abandoned state psychiatric hospital by fellow gang members he thought were his friends, Capers said.

On Feb. 16, prosecutors say “Diabolical” and another gang member drove the second girl to a southwest Houston neighborhood where she was shot once my each man, in the head and chest and close range. They have not been charged, at least not yet, with the aggravated sexual assault and kidnapping of the 14-year-old victim.

“(It) was a dark day for all of us, but for Nisa’s and Kayla’s loved ones it was an unspeakable nightmare”, said Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy Sini. The posse, which had been roving in a auto looking for gang enemies, attacked it they came across her walking with Nisa in the street.
