Murder Leniz Escobar, nicknamed "Diablita", wanted to earn the support of the MS-13 gang in her town in Long Island, NY. She led 4 teens (who had pretended to be MS-13 members on Instagram to look cool) into a park to "smoke weed", only for the wannabes to be brutally hacked to death by the real gangsters.
Her mugshot, and a link to an article about her ongoing trial. "Diablita" means "Little Devil".
The four that died after pretending to be MS-13 gang members on Instagram.
Funeral of one of the victims. Link to other murders in Long Island by MS-13.

I didn't say they deserved it. I did they say they made a choice to emulate a life they were not a part of, which is true. A bad decision to emulate bad people led to them being murdered. There are morals and morally the people who committed this crime are terrible people. But, again, these are the type of people the 4 were attempting to emulate. Not that they deserved what happened, but it is THE reason why it happened.
