A Man’s Shirt Choice Caused a MS-13 Member to Murder Him

By The Blaze. Federal prosecutors said MS-13 gang members murdered a man in Long Island simply because he was wearing a Peyton Manning football jersey, according to the New York Post.

The revelation is related to the January 2017 murder of Esteban Alvarado-Bonilla at a deli. MS-13 member Mario Aguilar-Lopez pleaded guilty to the murder in November 2018.

U.S. Assistant Attorney Raymond Tierney discussed the details of the motivation behind the murder during court proceedings Tuesday for Jose Suarez, who is accused of being the getaway driver in the murder in order to earn respect of the gang. . .

Alvarado-Bonilla was suspected of being a member of the rival 18th Street gang. Manning’s jersey number was 18. As a result, Alvarado-Bonilla was “marked for death,” prosecutors said.

Aguilar-Lopez fired five shots at Alvarado-Bonilla’s head at point-blank range, and one bullet also struck a nearby employee, who survived. (Read more from “A Man’s Shirt Choice Caused a MS-13 Member to Murder Him” HERE)

Recent FBI estimates put MS-13 gang membership in the U.S. at about 10,000, but it’s not clear how many of them are citizens versus immigrants.
