Justice reform at its finest.
Via Fox News:
The suspected MS-13 gang member accused in the brazen Sunday afternoon shooting of a rival on a New York City subway platform was reportedly free on $2,500 bail at the time after being busted on attempted murder and other charges in December.
Police on Tuesday identified the gunman in the shocking daytime attack as 26-year-old Ramiro Gutierrez. Gutierrez is set to face charges of second-degree murder, gang assault and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the killing of 20-year-old Abel Mosso, who authorities said was a member of the rival 18th Street Gang.
The midday attack – which happened in front of terrified and screaming commuters – occurred in an area of New York City’s Queens borough where the two gangs have been battling for influence. One subway passenger’s graphic video of the incident has been widely circulating on social media.
Gutierrez was taken into custody Monday and charged early Tuesday morning – but authorities revealed Gutierrez was known to law enforcement months before the fatal subway shooting.
In December, Gutierrez, who also goes by the nickname “Caramalo,” was indicted alongside 11 other alleged MS-13 gang members by a Queens County grand jury “on various charges including attempted murder and conspiracy, in addition to drug and weapons charges,” Immigration and Customs Enforcement said. Despite the involvement of ICE, it was not immediately clear anyone arrested in that bust is suspected of immigration violations.
