Alexandria, Virginia -- A member of the Mara Salvatrucha street gang yesterday became the second person convicted in a regionwide effort to target the violent gang using broad federal racketeering laws.
Alirio Reyes, 26, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Alexandria to federal charges in the slaying of a Herndon teenager, prosecutors said. Reyes admitted that he shot Jose Sandoval, 17, in May 2004 because Sandoval said he was a member of a rival gang.
