An MS-13 gang suspect who allegedly killed a man and burned the body was arrested in South Carolina, immigration officials confirmed.
Franklin Platero-Rodriguez, 21, was taken into custody without incident at a Subway restaurant 20 miles northwest of Charleston, The Post and Courier reported.
Walker County, Texas, officials issued a warrant for Platero-Rodriguez's arrest for homicide by firearm in the death of a man in Houston.
The gang member was found with a 9 mm pistol, which the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office said could be the weapon used in the Texas murder. Officials said the suspect killed the man, put his body in the trunk of the vehicle and poured gasoline on it before setting the vehicle on fire. He then apparently fled to South Carolina.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that Platero-Rodriguez, through a loophole, was able to enter the country as an unaccompanied alien child — an illegal immigrant under the age of 18.
Sheriff Duane Lewis said the 21-year-old had previously been deported but illegally entered the U.S. again. Platero-Rodriguez faces charges of unlawfully carrying a firearm, possessing a stolen pistol and being a fugitive in possession of a gun.
The MS-13 gang, responsible for dozens of gruesome deaths throughout the U.S., was started by Central American immigrants, mainly from El Salvador, in Los Angeles in the 1980s. It has expanded since to include Hondurans, Guatemalans, Mexicans and other Central and South Americans.
