A member of the brutal MS-13 gang, accused of killing a man and putting his corpse in the trunk of a car before setting it alight, has been arrested after two months on the run.
Fugitive Franklin Platero-Rodriguez was apprehended outside a Subway restaurant in Berkeley County during a joint operation by US marshals and local police officers.
The 21-year-old, who, according to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office, is a documented and confirmed MS-13 gang member, is accused of intentionally and knowingly causing the Houston death of a man by shooting him.
After the man was killed, Platero-Rodriguez allegedly ‘poured gasoline on a vehicle and burned it while the deceased was inside the trunk,’ the office said.
He was arrested in Ladson, South Carolina, after marshals in Texas tipped off sheriffs.
‘We work closely with our federal partners and arrests like this are a result of it. Platero-Rodriguez is a dangerous MS-13 gang member and I am glad that we were able to locate and arrest him without him being able to cause further harm,’ Sheriff Duane Lewis said.[…]
Mr Lewis said that the arrested man was originally from El Salvador, adding: ‘He has been deported at least once, and then entered the country illegally again.’
Immigration and customs enforcement officials told Fox News that he was able to enter the country through ‘a loophole’, as an unaccompanied alien child – an illegal immigrant under the age of 18 who has entered the country.
