"A federal grand jury indicted 11 MS-13 gang members Thursday for the 2016 kidnappings and killings of two juveniles in Fairfax County.

According to the indictment, Edenilson Misael Alfaro, a high-ranking MS-13 member authorized lower-ranking members of MS-13's Park View Locos Salvatrucha clique in Virginia to lure, kidnap, and murder two juveniles in August and September 2016.

The gang targeted one of the juveniles, only identified as E.E.E.M., for posting a photograph of a masked man to his Facebook account with the number 666 above his head. Alfaro allegedly ordered members to kill E.E.E.M., believing the Facebook post meant E.E.E.M. was a member of the rival 18th Street gang.

The 11 defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping and murder in aid of racketeering activity, conspiracy to kidnap, murder in aid of racketeering activity, and kidnapping resulting in death. If convicted, the defendants could face the death penalty."
