A suspected MS-13 gang member has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder after a man was stabbed more than 100 times and buried in a Maryland park, authorities said. Miguel Angel Lopez-Abrego, 19, was taken into custody earlier this month after an insider alerted Montgomery County Police detectives about the grave, authorities said Tuesday. According to police, he was attacked there by as many as 10 members of the MS-13 gang, who used walkie-talkies to alert one another. The suspects stabbed him, decapitated and dismembered him, and cut out his heart, which they buried with his body in a pre-dug grave, The Washington Post reported, citing court documents. Assistant State’s Attorney Kelly McGann said in court that Lopez-Abrego was thought to be the first member to stab the victim, according to the Post.
