Four suspected MS-13 gang members are facing murder charges in Maryland after killing a 14-year-old boy from Washington, DC.
The corpse of Jefferson Amaya-Ayala was discovered with multiple injuries in what the medical examiner ruled as a homicide on November 3, 2025, at Indian Creek Stream Valley Park in College Park, Maryland, months after he was last seen in Washington, DC, on August 2, 2025.
The Prince George’s County Police Department said in a press release on Saturday that they believe Ayala was lured to the park and murdered on August 2.
Per ABC 7, “Investigators disclosed that Amaya-Ayala knew at least one of the suspects, and 7News confirmed through a source that the crime is linked to the MS-13 gang.”
Police identified the suspects as 18-year-old Jose Merlos-Majano, 21-year-old Alan Josai Garcia-Padilla, and 19-year-old William Cuellar Gutierrez.
A fourth suspect from Hyattsville, Maryland, remains unidentified due to his age.
“All four suspects are in custody and charged with the murder of 14-year-old Jefferson Amaya-Ayala of Washington, DC,” the release states.
Merlos-Majano is in custody in the District, awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County, and Garcia-Padilla is in Alexandria, Virginia, also pending extradition, police say. The other two are in Prince George’s County custody.
It is unclear whether or not the suspects are in the United States legally.
