A “self-admitted” MS-13 gang member with a violent criminal history was charged in the murder of a teen whose remains were found in New York a year after he was "viciously and barbarically" killed, officials said. Benitez-Hernandez was arrested Wednesday after authorities uncovered human remains in a shallow grave in East Meadow on Long Island. The gang member was already in federal custody due to an immigration issue at the time of his arrest. WHAT IS MS-13, THE VIOLENT GANG TRUMP VOWED TO TARGET? Authorities believe there are at least five MS-13 gang members linked to the slaying.
