An alleged MS-13 member accused of murder has been arrested in El Salvador.
Federal prosecutors say Jose Jonathan Guevara-Castro was arrested Thursday.
They say the 25-year-old and several others lured Kerin Pineda to a wooded area near Kellenberg High School and attacked him with machetes in May of 2016.
Guevara-Castro now faces murder, racketeering and numerous other charges.
If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.
