HOUSTON — Prosecutors unveiled startling details in the sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping of two teenage girls as two suspected gang members went before a judge Thursday morning in probable cause court. The men were arrested in connection to the death of one the victims.
The Houston Police Department was investigating the aggravated sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl who claims she was kidnapped and repeatedly molested by members of the MS-13 gang at an apartment in the 2900 block of Gessner Road.
Investigators said the teen went to an apartment on Glenmont Drive after running away from school Feb. 2. When she entered the apartment, police said two men were inside and packaging large amounts of cocaine. The teen tried to leave, but the men wouldn't allow it.
Prosecutors said the teen was held for four days before being given to a man nicknamed "Flaco" and moved to the apartment on Gessner Road. Investigators said "Flaco" also sexually assaulted the victim.
The teen claims the second apartment is where she met the deceased victim, who investigators said she identified as Genesis. She said she also met the gang's alleged leader, Miguel Angel Alvarez-Flores, 22. Prosecutors said his street name is "Diabolico."
While the teens were held captive at the apartment, investigators said the victims were regularly forced to consume alcohol and drugs in order to remain intoxicated. The surviving victim claims Alvarez-Flores tattooed an image of the Grim Reaper on her body, which stretched from her knee to her foot.
The victim claims Genesis insulted the shrine dedicated to the gang's alleged satanic beliefs one night. "Diabolico" was offended and brought the shrine an offering of a lit cigarette, prosecutors said. The leader emerged from the shrine moments later and told the other gang members "the beast" could not be satisfied with material offerings but instead wanted a soul, investigators said.
Prosecutors said that's when Alvarez-Flores allegedly turned to accused gang member Diego Alexander Hernandez-Rivera, 18, and told him to prepare himself because "it was his turn."
When the victim woke up the next morning, she noticed Genesis was gone. Investigators said the accused men made up a rouse that they were taking Genesis with them on a run to meet the gang's marijuana supplier.
Alvarez-Flores and Hernandez-Rivera are accused of taking Genesis to the side of a road somewhere in southwest Harris County, where they allegedly took the girl out of the car and brought her to a grassy area.
Prosecutors said Alvarez-Flores handed Hernandez-Rivera a pistol and suggested he shoot Genesis. Hernandez allegedly took the gun, turned to the girl and fired one shot into the victim's head at close range. Officers said Alvarez-Flores then took the gun back and shot the victim a second time in the chest.
Officers found the girl's body on Feb. 16.
Alvarez-Flores and Hernandez-Rivera went before a judge Thursday morning. The men are charged with aggravated kidnapping and murder.
It isn't clear who has been charged in the aggravated sexual assault of the surviving victim.
Bail has been set at $150,000 for each man.
I believe people are entitled to a fair trial.
I also believe that we need a lot more executions in this country. If found guilty, things should move swiftly through a possible appeal process and if then the execution takes place. Done.
I do not believe in long prison sentences. Warehousing useless people? Why? If they need to be removed from society, remove them the old fashioned way.
All MS-13 members should be exterminated. Now.
$150,000 bail seems kind of low!!!
“All MS-13 members should be exterminated. Now.”
Actually they should just be relocated to 1/2 way houses inside tony liberal enclaves. Preferably those 1/2 way houses should be slap against expensive private school filled with the children of democrats. What better place for them to assemilate than in a safe, tolerant neighborhood?
Houston saw a rape and murder trial featuring Hispanic yutes in the 80s.
Even the executions were dragged out and made national news.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jennifer_Ertman_and_Elizabeth_Pe%C3%B1a
The rape and murder of Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Peña, two teenage girls from Houston, Texas, aged 14 and 16, respectively, occurred on June 24, 1993. The murder of the two girls made headlines in Texas newspapers due to the nature of the crime and the new law resulting from the murder that allows families of the victims to view the execution of the murderers. The case was also notable in that the state of Texas rejected attempts by the International Court of Justice to halt the executions of several of the perpetrators.
In the early 2000s there was a stabbing on a baseball field in Houston. The media ran wild with the story that the killing of the yute was a hate crime until it came out it was an MS13 gang member.
Agreed. If you put people like this in prison, they recruit in prison.
I thought so, too.
Thanks for posting.
Condolences to family and friends of (”Genesis”)the victim.
Maybe the Tesla guy, Elon Musk, can use MS13 members for his experimental moon base.
Be a darn shame if every gang banger mysteriously died on day. A darn shame....
And in public, with stout ropes.
Bingo! Merely being a gang member should be a shoot-on-sight scenario!
Absolutely. Prison as turned into a welfare program for violent gang recruitment.. How much does Islam thrive in prisons? Rape, murder, enslave and kill.. Sounds like the religion of criminals.
What happened to their tattoos?
See picture below for how CNN uses the technique. Ironically, CNN misidentified suspect, and used a picture of someone with a similar name. I believe the picture below is of an innocent person with a name similar to the Ft. Lauderdale shooter, but it's what CNN put out. Notice how CNN doctored the original photo.
Wow! Well, not really surprising...
My mom ended up on the jury panel for Derrick Sean O’Brien. She was excused after telling the lawyers she had already made up her mind about the case.
