MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. – Long Island police said they found the body of a MS-13 gang victim buried in a shallow grave more than two years ago.
Newsday reports that detectives uncovered the body in the heavily wooded Massapequa reserve on Friday.
The body has not been identified, but police claim that the victim is one of 11 people killed by members of an MS-13 gang in 2016.
Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said the authorities had swept the park more than a dozen times in search of human remains.
Ryder says the detectives found the unidentified body Friday after the police dogs had indicated a footprint in the ground.
The body was found near the place where the police found the remains of Julio Espantzay-Gonzalez, 18, in 2017. Three alleged members of the MS-13 were indicted in the death of Espantzay- Gonzalez.
