Four illegal migrants, who are members of the notorious MS-13 gang, have been indicted after they allegedly brutally murdered a 14-year-old boy in a Maryland park.
Jose Vladimir Merlos, 18, Alam Josai Garcia-Padilla, 21, William Cuellar Gutierrez, 19, and a 17-year-old were indicted on charges, including first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and participation in a criminal organization, according to Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Tara Jackson.
All four indicted are MS-13 gang members and illegal immigrants, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed.
Jefferson Amaya-Ayala, 14, of Washington, DC, was reported missing on Aug. 2, 2025.
Nearly three months later, on Nov. 3, Prince George’s County police announced that officers had recovered “what appeared to be possible human remains” in a park in Prince George’s County.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) later identified the remains as Amaya-Ayala and determined he died from “multiple injuries,” ruling the death a homicide.
