EXCERPT:

BONDI: “And today we’re here to announce the arrest of three more MS-13 gang members who were in this country illegally, and they were in Florida and we will be reviewing them, they’ve all been arrested for first degree murder, we will be reviewing them to see if we will seek the death penalty. This has been a long-running investigation that started in 2015. The victim in this case was brutally, brutally murdered, stabbed approximately a hundred times by multiple gang members before he was shot in the head. He suffered tremendously. And these indictments are a warning to all criminals. We don’t care how long ago you committed the crime, we don’t care where you go. We will find you, we will arrest you and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. Gamez-Maravilla was located in Lake County, Florida. Get ready for this. He was hanging drywall at The Villages when he was arrested. Bermudez-Martinez was apprehended in Minnesota. Great police work by all of our federal, state and local law enforcement agencies working together. Found this guy in Minnesota. He thought he got away with this crime and he did not. Navarro-Martinez arrested right here in North Lauderdale. They are charged with brutal, brutal, a brutal murder of a young man. One of these defendants sought him out, convinced him to come with him in his car, took him to a crime scene where they are all charged with violently stabbing him, almost like a game, to get a higher level in their gang initiation. They were all part of an MS-13.”
