The gang members lured both boys into Holmes Run Stream Valley Park on August 28 of that year under the pretense that they would be attending a gang meeting in the woods.
They restrained, attacked and killed the 17-year-old by stabbing him multiple times and “chopping” his body more than 100 次 “with knives, machetes, and a pickaxe” before stuffing him into a pre-dug hole — breaking one of the boy’s legs in the process to fit his remains inside, according to the Justice Department.
