\n

 <\/p>\n

Thirty-seven members of the street gang \u201cLa Mara Salvatrucha,\u201d or \u201cMS-13,\u201d were indicted for numerous felonies including racketeering conspiracy, murder, attempted murder, assault and firearms violations, officials said.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement reported that 13 alleged gang members were arrested Wednesday morning.\u00a0Five remain at large and 16 are in state custody on various state charges, officials stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe arrest of these MS-13 gang members is part of a coordinated law enforcement effort to eradicate gang violence in North Carolina. Innocent families should not suffer because of the callous and violent actions of others. The FBI will pursue those criminal offenders who impact the safety and stability of our neighborhoods, no matter their gang affiliation,\u201d said John Strong, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Charlotte.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 41-count indictment contain the following allegations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • From at least in or about 2009 to present in Mecklenburg County and elsewhere, the defendants were members of the MS-13 gang, a criminal organization with over 6,000 members in the United States and 30,000 members internationally.<\/li>\n
  • MS-13 originated in Los Angeles, California, and has spread to states across the country, including in North Carolina.<\/li>\n
  • The gang\u2019s members are mostly immigrants or descendants of immigrants from El Salvador and other Central and Latin American countries.<\/li>\n
  • MS-13 in North Carolina is divided into different groups, or \u201ccliques,\u201d identified by names such as \u201cCharlotte Locotes Salvatrucha,\u201d and \u201cCentralles,\u201d among others.<\/li>\n
  • The different cliques work together to carry out criminal acts, to protect the interests of the criminal enterprise, and to assist each other in avoiding law enforcement detection.<\/li>\n
  • The group leaders are often called \u201cshot callers\u201d or \u201cvoices,\u201d and they are tasked with passing down information and orders from leaders higher in the gang hierarchy.<\/li>\n
  • Group leaders also act to resolve disputes, address organizational issues, and to participate in gang decisions, including the assault or murder of those suspected of cooperating with law enforcement, known as \u201cgreen light.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Specifically, the indictment alleges the following information:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • On December 18, 2013, Zelaya allegedly murdered Jose Orlando Ibarra<\/strong> in Charlotte, whom he believed to be a member of a rival gang.<\/li>\n
    • On June 6, 2014, also in Charlotte, Pena and Ordonez-Vega allegedly murdered Noel Navarro Hernandez. <\/strong><\/li>\n
    • On April 23, 2011, Contreras murdered Rigoberto Castillo<\/strong> in Rock Hill, S.C.<\/li>\n
    • On June 23, 2013, in Charlotte, Garcia-Perez shot and killed Alejandro Sebastian Alvarez<\/strong>, a rival gang member. Contreras and Garcia-Perez were prosecuted on state charges for those murders, officials said.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      MS-13 members adhere to a set of gang rules and pay dues which fund the gang\u2019s criminal activities and support other gang members or their families in the U.S and abroad, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

      Gang members are also expected to protect the name, reputation, and status of \u00a0gang and its members, and to punish through acts of violence and intimidation those who disrespect the gang, officials stated.<\/p>\n

      Officials stated some MS-13 members signify their affiliation with the gang by wearing blue, black and white color clothing and certain \u201cMara Salvatrucha,\u201d or \u201cMS-13\u201d tattoos.<\/p>\n

      The defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.<\/p>\n
