NEW YORK—An appeals court affirmed a 55-year prison term Tuesday for a member of the MS-13 Gang who organized the killings of four teenagers in a Long Island park when he was 15.
Josue Portillo, now 19, pleaded guilty in the April 2017 massacre after planning it for weeks because he was offended that a youth who was not an MS-13 member had flashed the gang’s symbol and acted as if he was, prosecutors said.
