The Latin Kings are a violent nationwide gang that distributes drugs to generate revenue and engages in violence to further its influence and to protect its turf, prosecutors said.
A former enforcer for the Latin Kings gang, who authorities say was involved in violent attacks and shootings targeting rivals, has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison, federal prosecutors said.
“As a leader of the New Bedford Chapter of the Latin Kings, Santiago-Torres engaged in at least three shootings, two brutal gang beatings, and dealt drugs, destroying any sense of safety on this city’s streets,” Joseph Bonavolonta, head of the FBI’s Boston office said in a statement. In one incident in July 2019, Santiago-Torres fired several shots at rival gang members as they fled and in another case in September 2019, he participated in a shooting in which a victim was struck by gunfire and shell casings were linked to a gun recovered from his apartment. Santiago-Torres was also accused of dragging a victim out of a vehicle and beating him in November 2019.
