Alexandria, Virginia -- Wilfredo Montoya Baires thought he smelled a rat. Or so he told fellow members of the Mara Salvatrucha street gang.
Actually, prosecutors told the jury at Baires's federal court trial in Alexandria, the 27-year-old gang member wanted to eliminate a rival. So he and three other MS-13 members went to a townhouse in Manassas, where Baires shot Jose Escobar, 22, before another gang member cut his throat.
