MS-13 gang members busted for subway execution and two other murders
2020-05-15
[NYPOST] Ten alleged MS-13 gang members were busted in connection with three Queens murders — including an early afternoon liquidation on a subway platform and another that was a case of mistaken identity, the feds announced Thursday.

"The murders and crimes of violence allegedly committed by these defendants are trademark MS-13 offenses — cold-blooded, senseless and brutally violent — and pose a grave danger to the residents of our communities," said Brooklyn US Attorney Richard Donoghue in a statement.

Alleged MS-13 member Ramiro Gutierrez and associates Tito Martinez- Alvarenga and Victor Lopez allegedly dragged suspected gang rival Abel Mosso off a No. 7 train onto the platform of the 90th Street Station in Jackson Heights on Feb. 3, 2019, according to court papers.

Gutierrez allegedly shouted in Spanish, "Nobody get involved, we’re MS-13, we’re going to kill him," then pumped five bullets into Mosso’s head in broad daylight, the indictment charges.

The group believed Mosso, 20, was a member of the rival 18th Street gang, Brooklyn federal prosecutors said in court papers.

A bystander recorded video of the shocking slaying, which was posted on Facebook, authorities said. Gutierrez, Martinez-Alvarenga and Lopez already face murder, gang assault and other charges in Queens Supreme Court for the killing.

In another brazen shooting, MS-13 member Juan Amaya-Ramirez, aka "Cadaver," and two others allegedly lured 17-year-old Andy Peralta to Kissena Park in Flushing on April 23, 2018.

Peralta had a tattoo of a crown on his chest, which the MS-13 members mistakenly believed was a symbol of the rival Latin Kings gang, prosecutors said.

The trio beat, stabbed and strangled Peralta and slashed the offending tattoo in the middle of a public park, court papers allege.

Amaya-Ramirez used an iPhone to photograph him and his pals posing with Peralta’s mangled corpse as they flashed gang signs, prosecutors said.

The murder of Victor Alvarenga occurred Nov. 4, 2019, on a Queens street. MS-13 members Douglas Melgar-Suriano, Jairo Martinez-Garcia and another associate approached Alvarenga near his home. Melgar-Suriano allegedly repeatedly blasted him in his head and body. As he writhed on the pavement, Martinez-Garcia pumped one more bullet into him, according to court papers.

Alleged MS-13 members Marlon Saracey-Lopez, Ismael Santos-Novoa and Emerson Martinez-Lara are charged with conspiring to murder an MS-13 associate who had failed to kill a rival gang member as ordered. Victor Ramirez is charged with attempting to murder another rival gang member.

The 10 defendants named in four indictments face charges including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, marijuana distribution and discharging a firearm.
