WASHINGTON—Two dozen members of the violent MS-13 gang have been charged in a New York federal district court with three additional murders on top of 12 they’ve already been charged with, according to a report by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Kevin Torres, the leader of the Sailors clique of MS-13 in New York, and Alexi Saenz, the leader of the Brentwood, Long Island, chapter of the Sailors clique, authorized the murder of Oscar Acosta because he was suspected of being a rival 18th Street gang member, the DOJ said on June 7.
