Three alleged MS-13 gang members went on a deadly “hunting” spree across California and Nevada, targeting victims in a string of brutal killings meant to boost their status inside the notorious gang, federal prosecutors said as the trial got underway this week.. The defendants, Jose Luis Reynaldo Reyes-Castillo, David Arturo Perez-Manchame and Joel Vargas-Escobar, are facing a 34-count federal indictment that includes murder, attempted murder and kidnapping in aid of racketeering, along with weapons charges tied to at least 11 killings.. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada, the men, identified as alleged MS-13 members and associates, are also charged with using firearms during crimes of violence, causing death with a firearm and aiding and abetting, in what prosecutors describe as a racketeering case tied to a series of killings across California and Nevada.. The trial, unfolding in federal court in Las Vegas before U.S. District Judge Gloria M. Navarro, is expected to last up to three months.. FOUR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS LINKED TO MS-13 INDICTED FOR ALLEGEDLY MURDERING 14-YEAR-OLD BOY IN MARYLAND PARK.

According to reporting from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Assistant U.S. Attorney Melanee Smith told jurors the attacks were often random and carried out to build reputation within MS-13.. “They went out hunting, looking for people they could kill,” Smith said..

Authorities allege the violence was intended to elevate the defendants’ standing within MS-13, also known as La Mara Salvatrucha, a transnational gang that originated in Los Angeles and now operates across the United States and Central America.. ICE SEEKING DETENTION OF 3 ALLEGED MS-13 MEMBERS ACCUSED OF MURDERING 14-YEAR-OLD BOY. Court filings describe MS-13 as a structured criminal enterprise where violence was the path to power, and members were expected to carry out killings to rise through the gang’s ranks.. One of the cases tied to the defendants dates back to 2018, when 21-year-old Arquimidez Sandoval-Martinez was abducted from a Las Vegas nightclub. According to court records, he was bound with shoelaces, driven into the desert and killed. His body was found nearly two weeks later on federal land outside the city..
