Five suspected members of the El Salvadoran MS-13 gang have been charged with murdering a 16-year-old girl in May in Baltimore County, Maryland.
The Sheriff’s Office alleges that Gabriela Alejandra Gonzalez Ardon was lured to the Loch Raven Reservoir by five MS-13 members who suspected she’d been in contact with a rival gang and murdered her. She was discovered on May 29 after having been missing from Nassau County, New York, since July 2019.
The gang members charged with first-degree murder include: Jonathan Pesquera-Puerto, 19; Edys Valenzuella-Rodriguez, 20; Wualter Hernandez-Orellana, 19; Asael Ezequie Gonzalez-Merlos, 16; and Wilson Art Constanza-Galdomez, 21. All five were already in police custody because of other crimes, and are being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
In September 2019, seven MS-13 gang members were charged with murdering a 21-year-old man in Baltimore County. Six of the seven charged are illegal aliens.
