Eight alleged MS-13 gang members are being charged with murder, racketeering, extortion of business owners, and selling drugs and weapons, it was reported on Thursday.

The eight men, whose ages range from 18 to 22, are alleged to be members of the so-called ‘Sailors Clique’ of MS-13, the Central America-based criminal outfit.

The suspects are alleged to have taken part in four murders, extortions, and drug and gun trafficking in Maryland from 2015 to 2017, according to WJLA-TV.

The eight men have been identified as Carlos Roberto Cruz, 20, from Beltsville, Maryland; Kevin Alexis Hernandez-Guevara, 20, of Landover Hills; Rolando Aristides Juarez-Vasquez, 22, of Hyattsville; Jeffry Rodriguez, 21, of Beltsville; Junior Noe Alvarado-Requeno, 20, of Landover; Michael Eduardo Contreras, 22, of Silver Spring; Luis Fernando Orellana-Estrada, 18, of Hyatsville; and Donald Roberto Mendez-Lopez, 18, of Hyattsville.

Authorities allege that ‘Sailors Clique’ extorted money from the owners of illegal businesses and sent the money back to MS-13 leaders in El-Salvador.

The suspects are also alleged to have sold marijuana and cocaine in Langley Park.

Alvarado-Requino, Tejada-Cruz, Hernandez-Guevara, and Juarez-Vasquez face a maximum sentence of life in prison, according to the Justice Department.

On March 27, 2017, Contreras directed Sailors Clique members to go to Lynchburg in Bedford County, Virginia and murder a victim, according to the indictment.
