Gianfranco Torres-Navarro, leader of Peruvian gang "Los Killers" and prime suspect in at least 23 murder in his home country, has been arrested by U.S. immigration authorities in New York. Torres was apprehended in Endicott, New York, approximately 145 miles northwest of New York City and is currently being held at a federal detention facility near Buffalo pending an immigration hearing.
Torres-Navarro entered the U.S. illegally at the Texas-Mexico border on May 16. He was arrested the same day and given a notice to appear for immigration proceedings, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.
