This undated image released by the Montgomery County Police Department, shows Miguel Angel Lopez-Abrego, 19, who is an alleged member of the MS-13 gang involved in the homicide of an unidentified man who was found dead at Wheaton Regional Park in Wheaton, Md. The March 2017 slaying was part of a wave of violence that federal authorities pinned on Maryland-based members of La Mara Salvatrucha street gang, or MS-13 for short. A May 2019 indictment against 22 members and associates of MS-13 "cliques" in Maryland said they were responsible for at least six murders, five attempted murders, a string of assaults, drug trafficking and other crimes. Lopez Abrego, one of those defendants, is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, Feb. 21, 2020, in Baltimore, in the latest in a flurry of guilty pleas and sentencings in the case.
