The man who authorities says headed up the violent Mara Salvatrucha street gang in the Washington area faces up to 160 years in prison after a federal jury found him guilty of trying to kill rival gang members.

Dennis L. Gil Bernardez, 33, of Landover will be sentenced Oct. 16 at U.S. District Court in Alexandria. Also found guilty in the attacks was 18-year-old MS-13 member Jose M. Aguilar Orantes of Reston. He faces 95 years behind bars.
