\"\"A New Jersey man was sentenced to 40 years in prison Monday for conspiring to participate in a murder, the Department of Justice stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials announced Tuesday that the sentence was connected with his involvement in La Mara Salvatrucha, a violent international gang commonly known as MS-13.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents, Jose Gimenez-Lobos, aka Terrible, 32, was a member and leader in an MS-13 clique in New Jersey. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the evening of Nov. 23, 2014, MS-13 members gathered at an apartment in Richmond, Virginia, along with the victim, who was a member of the rival Sure\u00f1o gang. <\/span><\/p>\n

Under MS-13 rules, members are not allowed to associate with rival gangs and are required to assault or murder rival gang members. <\/span><\/p>\n

When Gimenez-Lobos arrived at the apartment and realized a rival was present, Gimenez-Lobos encouraged the other MS-13 members to confront the victim based on his status as a Sure\u00f1o gang member. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The co-conspirators entered another room in the apartment, conferred, and decided to kill the victim. <\/span><\/p>\n

They assaulted the victim and took his knife, which Gimenez-Lobos used to stab the victim multiple times.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Co-defendant Darwin Solorzano-Quintanilla then used a B-B gun to beat the victim brutally about the head. <\/span><\/p>\n

Co-defendant Francisco Lemus-Castillo used his knife to stab the victim several more times, and the victim died from the stab wounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThis case is a clear example of the severe threat organized criminal gangs pose to our communities,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Jessica D. Aber for the Eastern District of Virginia. \u201cThe normalization of petty violence \u2013 such as killing another person because of their perceived rival affiliation \u2013 is illustrative of how dangerous these organizations can be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJose Gimenez-Lobos displayed his depravity by conspiring to stab a man to death in cold blood,\u201d said Special Agent in Charge Derek W. Gordon of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Washington, D.C. \u201cThe severity of his crime is reflected in the prison sentence he received today.\u00a0 HSI Washington, D.C. will continue to relentlessly pursue individuals or groups who perpetrate violence against the residents of our Washington, D.C. and Virginia communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Solorzano-Quintanilla was sentenced to life in prison on Nov. 23, 2021. Lemus-Castillo was sentenced to life in prison on June 26, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI, FBI Richmond Field Office\u2019s RAVE Task Force, and the Department of Homeland Security investigated the case, with significant assistance from the City of Richmond Police Department.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trial Attorney Matthew Hoff of the Criminal Division\u2019s Organized Crime and Gang Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen W. Miller for the Eastern District of Virginia prosecuted the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
