8 MS-13 Gang Members Indicted On Murder And Other Charges: Feds

CENTRAL ISLIP, NY — A 29-count indictment was unsealed in federal court in Central Islip on Wednesday, charging eight members of MS-13 with multiple offenses, including murder and attempted murder, the U.S. Attorney's office said.

Two of the defendants, Kevin Torres, also known as “Inquieto” and “Quieto” (Torres), and Oseas Gonzalez, also known as “Manota” and “Cordero” (Gonzalez), have been charged with the Sept. 5, 2016 murder of Marcus Bohannon, in Central Islip, Breon Peace, Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said.

Torres, 26, is from Freeport, while Gonzalez, 30, is from Charlotte, North Carolina.

A new defendant is Kevin Cuevas Del Cid, 22, from Freeport. He goes by the names "Creeper,” “Malcriado,” “Sombra,” “Vinky” and “Dabura.”

Del Cid is charged in this superseding indictment with the May 21, 2016 murder of Kerin Pineda, the October 10, 2016 murder of Javier Castillo, and conspiring to distribute cocaine and marijuana. Del Cid was 16 years old at the time of the murders, the U.S. Attorney's office said.

"The superseding indictment demonstrates the resolve of this Office and the Long Island Gang Task Force to bring to justice the MS-13 gang members responsible for each and every one of the appalling and senseless murders they have committed in our communities on Long Island and elsewhere,” Peace said. "It is my hope that these latest charges bring some consolation to the families of the victims.”
