3 alleged gang members indicted on murder charges

A federal grand jury has indicted three alleged MS-13 gang members on murder charges related to the shooting death of a Maryland pimp as he tried to sell a prostitute in Alexandria.

The arrests of 21-year-olds Eris Arguera and Alcides Umana, and 28-year-old Adolfo Portillo, were first reported by The Examiner last month. According to court documents, the three men lured 40-year-old Carlos Luna to Alexandria by setting up a tryst with one of Luna’s prostitutes. When he arrived, the three men allegedly jumped into Luna’s car, robbed him and shot him to death.
