Thirteen members of the notorious Salvadoran gang MS-13 were charged Thursday in connection with seven murders including the 2016 killings of high school teenagers on New York's Long Island. The gang members were charged with 41 counts which also include racketeering, attempted murder, assault and obstruction of justice, U.S. Attorney Robert L. Capers said Thursday afternoon. ALLEGED MS-13 GANG MEMBERS ACCUSED IN HOUSTON WOMAN'S 'SATANIC' MURDERTen of the suspects are illegal immigrants, two are U.S. citizens and one is a green card holder, Capers said. “For far too long, MS-13 has been meting out their own version of the death penalty,” Capers said. Since the killings last fall, Suffolk County police have arrested more than 125 suspected MS-13 gang members in Brentwood and elsewhere.
