Victim Stabbed 40 Times, MS-13 Gang Members Sought for Murder: Police

Two people with ties to the El Salvadoran gang MS-13 operating in Montgomery County have been charged with murder in the death of an 18-year-old man whose body was found in a Gaithersburg park, officials said.

At a press conference Thursday, police released the names of two gang members suspected of stabbing the victim to death and addressed escalating gang violence in Montgomery County. Both suspects are in custody on $1 million bond. Investigators are looking for two more suspects in the death.

The victim was stabbed more than 40 times after he was lured into the park with promises of sex, said Capt. Darren Francke, director of major crimes. Once the victim arrived, gang members asked him to go into the woods with them to smoke marijuana, where he was killed. >>> Read more.
