TWO MS-13 MEMBERS CHARGED WITH RAPING AND KIDNAPPING TEENAGE GIRLS LAST YEAR.
Two members of MS-13 based in Houston were charged last year on suspicion of killing a teenager and kidnapping another in 2017.
Gang leader Miguel Angel Alvarez-Flores, 22, who also goes by ‘Diabolico,’ and 18-year-old Diego Alexan Hernandez-Rivera, who had a Satanic shrine in their Houston apartment, laughed, smiled and waved in court as they faced charges of aggravated kidnapping and murder.
Prosecutors said the two kidnapped a 14-year-old girl after she left school around February 2, holding her in an apartment where she was raped by a gang member.

Another girl kept at the apartment, named only as Genesis, was found shot dead in the head and chest on February 16, and has not been identified.
Authorities released the facial reconstruction image of one of the pair’s alleged victims in a bid to identify her.
The girl – aged between 15 and 25 – was found dead on the morning of February 16.
She was also shot in the neck and torso.
Police said Rivera had confessed to leading the woman to a remote area and shooting her.
