WASHINGTON (WMAL) – Murder, robbery and drug trafficking are just some of the charges filed against six MS-13 members from Annapolis.
The men charged are 19-year-old Moises Alexis Reyes-Canales who goes by “Sicopat” which means psychopath, 22-year-old Marlon Cruz-Flores who goes by “Little S,” 20-year-old Fermin Gomez-Jimenez,19-year-old Manuel Martinez-Aguilar who goes by “El Lunatic” and “Zomb,” 20-year-old Juan Carlos Sandoval-Rodriguez who goes by “Picaro” which means rascal, “El Pastor” and “Gasper”, and 20-year-old David Diaz-Alvarado.
The indictment stated that Reyes-Canales, Cruz-Flores, Gomez-Jimenez, and Martinez-Aguilar were part of a racketeering conspiracy that included assaults, murder, attempted murder, robbery, and drug trafficking.
In a press release, the Baltimore U.S. Attorney’s Office said Sandoval-Rodriguez lured a rival gang member to a park in Annapolis to kill him on or around March 11, 2016. Prosecutors say at some point he, Cruz-Flores, Gomez-Jimenez, and Diaz-Alvarado murdered that person in order to be initiated into the gang, maintain their status or be promoted.
Then on October 23, 2016, Reyes-Canales, Cruz-Flores, Gomez-Jimenez, and Martinez-Aguilar tried to kill two other people in Annapolis. One person was stabbed multiple times, while the other was shot and stabbed over and over again.
All six men have been detained. Court dates haven’t yet been scheduled.
