Leaders of a violent street gang in El Salvador sent Victor “Mousey” Ramirez to the Maryland suburbs to strengthen the MS-13 gang here and wipe out its rivals.

On Monday, a federal judge sent Ramirez to 60 years in prison.

Ramirez, who lived in Hyattsville, was convicted on charges of racketeering and conspiracy to commit three murders and an attempted murder.
