An MS-13 leader has pleaded guilty to racketeering and firearms charges in a case involving eight murders, including the 2016 killings of two girls who were hacked and beaten to death as they strolled through their leafy, suburban neighborhood on Long Island. Alexi Saenz said in a statement that he had ordered or approved the killings of rival gang members and other people who had disrespected or feuded with members of his clique. Among those were the killings of Kayla Cuevas, 16, and Nisa Mickens, 15, lifelong friends and classmates at Brentwood High School who were killed with a machete and a baseball bat.
