WHAT IS MS-13, THE VIOLENT GANG TRUMP VOWED TO TARGET?
Four other suspects — Marlon A. Miranda, 19, Wilson J. Ventura-Mejia, 22, Miguel Aguilar-Ochoa, 33, and Carlos Elias Henriquez-Torres, 18 — were also charged with murder in the victim's death.
Authorities said all five suspects are members of the deadly MS-13 street gang.
Castro-Martinez was a police informant and was wearing a recording device when he was found dead, according to the Houston Chronicle. However, Police Chief Art Acevedo said he wasn't killed because he was an informant but rather because he was a member of a rival MS-13 gang.
