Attorney General Pam Bondi announced federal murder charges against three alleged MS-13 gang members or associates in connection to the brutal murder of a man in Florida.
The three are accused of stabbing and shooting Gerson Vilelio Vasquez-Portillo, 22, in western Palm Beach County in 2015. He was believed to be an affiliate of a rival gang member.
The arrests are part of cold-case investigations into a total of four murders which took place in 2014 and 2015 in and around Boward County in South Florida, officials said. One of the victims was stabbed 100 times before being shot in the head.
