Feds: MS-13 member helped killers escape after pimp's slaying

An alleged MS-13 member is accused of helping fellow gang members flee from the scene of a 2009 murder of a pimp in Alexandria by driving the getaway car and remaining with the vehicle after crashing it, to let the killers evade police.

Carlos Mauricio Lovo Torres drove with convicted murderers Eris Ramon Arguera and Adolfo Amaya Portillo to an apartment building on the 700 block of Manor Road in Alexandria on July 29, 2009, according to charging documents filed in federal court in Alexandria. There, Arguera, Amaya Portillo and Alcides Umana killed Claros Luna during an extortion attempt, and authorities say Lovo Torres helped them escape.
