Reyes Rivas was taken from Maryland to a Virginia park where she was stabbed with a knife and jabbed with a stick by a large group of MS-13 members. Her body was eventually discovered after it was dumped under a highway overpass on the outskirts of Washington, D.C.
Federal prosecutors said Iraheta was the primary attacker, stabbing the 15-year-old 13 times and slicing off one of her tattoos, according to NBC Washington.
“She told the victim she would never forgive her,” FBI Agent Fernando Uribe said in courtroom testimony. “She would ‘see her in hell.’ She would never forget her name.”
