HOUSTON, TX – The two MS-13 gang members who killed a 15-year-old girl as a sacrifice to the Saint of Death in 2017, have been convicted of murder and each sentenced to 40 years in prison.
“This is a tragic case of a runaway girl falling into the clutches of a dangerous and violent gang,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said. “We will not stop in our pursuit of violent criminals who band together to terrorize communities and murder innocents.”
On Monday, just before jury selection was set to begin in his trial, Diego Hernandez-Rivera, 22, pleaded guilty to murder in the death of Genesis Cornejo-Alvarado in exchange for 40 years in prison.
Hernandez-Rivera, who went by “Scary,” also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in exchange for 12 years in prison. Those sentences will run concurrently.
His partner in crime, Miguel Alvarez-Flores, 26, who went by “Diabolico,” pleaded guilty to murder in February and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Prosecutors expected to show in court that Cornejo-Alvarado, whose Houston-area family had reported her missing, was dating a gang member and was chosen as a sacrifice and shot to death, likely because she disrespected their shrine to the Santa Muerte, the Saint of Death.

We must bring back the death penalty, and expand its use exponentially. Keeping these criminals alive is stupid and foolish.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, instead we get a free life behind bars paid for by the stupid public. This has got to stop.
Yeb! says it is an Act of Love.
Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio want to give them all amnesty.
We need public hangings ... pay per view ...
Wood chipper.
texas has the death penalty, wtf?
Deezint duz nuftin
Looks a bit like Sean Penn on the left.
Tell me again why we’re suppose to want Americans to look like them!
How did these Central American Catholic creeps not get the death penalty?
Everyone who who has ever donned the uniform knew that there might come a time in combat when he’d have to kill someone for duty, honor, country.
Yet millions of good men put it on anyway. And many of those eventually did go on to kill someone. Willingly. Blessed heroes and honorable men, nearly every one of them.
Yet finding one of these prima donna law school graduates who eventually put on the black robe and is willing to actually do his duty is like finding a needle in a haystack. Spit!
Every law school grad should be required to skin alive one of these MS13-type animals, without gloves, while yucking it up and having a grand old time, or no law degree for him! Which come to think of it, would also help keep the number of unneeded law grads to a manageable minimum.
Sentences seem too light for these evil savages.
The satanic Santa Muerte cult has nothing to do with Catholicism. It blasphemes the sacred by imitating and perverting Catholic imagery. It is primarily a practice tied to drug gangs and other criminals. Catholic leaders have repeatedly condemned it.
Santa Muerte is not Catholic.
The Catholic Church in Central America has allowed a great deal of syncretization and amalgamation with Aztec, Mayan, African, and Inca religion.
You may not consider them Catholics but they do. Voodoo didn’t grow out of a combination of African religion and Presbyterianism.
It doesn’t matter if these cult members consider themselves Catholic; they are not. While the Church in Latin America has done a poor job rooting out syncretism, they in no way consider these guys Catholic. As I said, the Church there has repeatedly condemned this cult.
I have noticed that this demographic ate devoutly Catholic on Sunday and easter. All other times they are not the church going and rosary clutching devotees they claim.
