The leader of an MS-13 clique in New York has been sentenced to 68 years in prison on charges stemming from a federal case involving eight murders, including the killings of two Long Island high school girls that drew national attention nearly a decade ago.
Alexi Saenz, 30, was sentenced after pleading guilty last year to ordering six murders and three attempted killings in Brentwood, New York, a community that has grappled with gang violence for years. According to federal court records and reporting by ABC News, Saenz was a central figure in a series of brutal attacks carried out by his MS-13 clique.
