MS-13 gang member Joel Martinez (above) pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston last week to racketeering conspiracy involving the stabbing murder of a 15-year-old boy in East Boston. Nicknamed “Animal,” the 23-year-old gangster was part of MS-13’s Eastside Loco Salvatrucha (ESLS) clique, which operated in Chelsea, Everett, and elsewhere in greater Boston. 

Martinez admitted that on September 20, 2015, he murdered a 15-year-old boy on Trenton Street in East Boston. In recorded conversations between him and a cooperating witness, he acknowledged being a member of MS-13 and admitted that he stabbed the victim to death. Specifically, he said, “I stabbed the asshole three times, and it was a beautiful thing! Just beautiful!”

As a result of the murder, Martinez was “jumped in” and made a “homeboy,” or full member of MS-13, during a ceremony that was surreptitiously recorded by federal agents. When a prospective member is “jumped in,” members of the MS-13 clique beat the new member with their hands and feet while one of the leaders of the clique counts aloud slowly to thirteen.

After a three-year investigation, Martinez was one of 61 individuals named in a superseding indictment targeting the criminal activities of alleged leaders, members, and associates of MS-13 in Massachusetts. Martinez is the 27th defendant to plead guilty in this case.

Martinez faces up to life in prison, five years of supervised release, and will be subject to deportation upon the completion of his sentence. U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV scheduled sentencing for March 22, 2018.

  • In regards to these specific despicable fucking worms. These cocksuckers must be taught a fucking lesson that will reverberate around their collective fucked up lives. Let us institute a "secret society". We'll call it the "Charles Bronson" society. All of the names and addresses of these motherfucking cocksucking murderers will be entered into a database of known MS13 members. those who have been convicted of a murder of our children will then be selected for the ultimate punishment. These members of this MS13 bullshit must be dealt with forthwith. There are NO redeeming qualities in any of them, none. To incarcerate these lowlifes is like giving them a throne. We, must collectively rid this country of this cancer that not only kills our children but destroys the families of these children. Something has got to give. These motherfuckers have not a smidgen of remorse flowing thru their blood. they need to be evaporated asap.
