Six suspected MS-13 gang members have been indicted in the gruesome murder of a 17-year-old Long Island boy, but two of the six carried out the murder.
The brutal murder of Harold Sermeno was carried out when the group invited him at a local community center where one suspect shot Sermeno multiple times, and another slashed the victim in the neck with a machete. The machete is often used in the murders that this cold-blooded gang commits.
The body was found in a playground area near the local community center.
Sanchez and Guerra are also among those charged in the same indictment with a slaying in Queens a few days before Sermeno was killed.
In that case, Sanchez and Guerra allegedly sent pictures of Ian Cruz to other gang members, saying he had been “talking bad about MS-13” and got permission from the gang for the slaying.
Sanchez and Guerra were already in Rikers Island and were brought to Mineola Monday for arraignment.
