Suffolk County Police have announced indictments for six alleged MS-13 gang members for conspiracies to commit two murders.
The conspiracy to kill a rival gang member was at the center of the indictments.
County District Attorney Tim Sini says the group received their orders from MS-13 gang leaders in El Salvador.
“They received permission from MS-13 leadership to kill him. Our intelligence shows that their plan was to kill him by shooting him with the firearm they were attempting to purchase, or butchering him with a machete, or lighting him on fire.”
Sini says three of the six men were also charged with conspiring to kill a fellow MS-13 gang member, who they believed was a police informant.
He says one of the ways to curb MS-13’s presence on Long Island is to keep young people away from gang recruitment.
