WASHINGTON D.C.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Maryland man was sentenced Monday to life in prison in connection with MS-13 gang murders, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

MS-13 is a transnational gang composed primarily of immigrants or descendants from El Salvador. <\/span><\/p>\n

Branches or \u201ccliques\u201d of MS-13, one of the largest street gangs in the United States, operate throughout Frederick County, Anne Arundel County, Prince George\u2019s County, and Montgomery County, Maryland.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents, Junior Noe Alvarado-Requeno aka Insolente, aka Trankilo, 24, of Landover, Maryland, was convicted on multiple racketeering-related offenses on Nov. 23, 2021 after a four-week trial. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Alvarado-Requeno was convicted of three counts each of murder in aid of racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, and one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana and cocaine.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the evidence presented at the four-week trial, between 2015 and 2018, Alvarado-Requeno and his co-defendant, Miguel Angel Corea Diaz, aka Reaper, 41, of Long Branch, New Jersey, controlled and operated the Sailors Locos Salvatruchos Westside (S.L.S.W. or Sailors) clique.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"brownThe clique committed murder, extortion, drug trafficking, money laundering, and witness tampering. Corea Diaz was sentenced to life in prison<\/a>\u00a0on April 1, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evidence showed that the gang ran a protection scheme in and around its home base in Langley Park, Maryland.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gang members extorted local businesses by charging them \u201crent\u201d for the privilege of operating in MS-13 \u201cterritory\u201d and trafficked in illegal drugs. <\/span><\/p>\n

A large share of the proceeds of the gang\u2019s illegal activities was sent to gang leadership in El Salvador to further promote the goals of the gang, using structured transactions and intermediaries to avoid law enforcement scrutiny.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"womanThe Sailors clique committed acts of violence against suspected rival gang members, as well as against its own membership for breaking gang rules. <\/span><\/p>\n

Evidence presented at trial showed that in June 2016, Alvarado-Requeno ordered members of the Sailors clique to murder a suspected rival in the woods at Malcolm King Park in Gaithersburg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Luring him with the promise of sex with a female MS-13 associate, the gang members ambushed the teenaged victim and stabbed him 153 times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The victim did not belong to any gang.<\/span><\/p>\n

In March 2017, a member of the Sailors clique who was hiding from law enforcement in the Lynchburg, Virginia, area had a dispute with a local high school student.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"In response, Alvarado-Requeno and Corea Diaz organized a squad of MS-13 members to drive down to Lynchburg and murder the minor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The gang members kidnapped the student from his front lawn and cut his hand off before killing him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the murder, the Alvarado-Requeno and Corea Diaz helped to hide and protect the killers who escaped the scene from law enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to evidence presented at trial, among the most important rules of MS-13 is the prohibition against talking to law enforcement, embodied by the maxim ver, oir, y callar \u2013 see, hear, and say nothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The gang enforced this rule by placing a \u201cgreen light\u201d \u2013 an order to kill \u2013 on any member of MS-13 who was thought to be informing on the gang.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In December 2016, Alvarado-Requeno directed and participated in the murder of a 14-year-old member of MS-13 who was suspected of talking to the police.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s remains were discovered 18 months later in the woods outside of Germantown, Maryland.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
