An MS-13 gang member nicknamed “Diablita” will spend decades in prison for “willingly and enthusiastically” helping plan and carry out the machete-hacking deaths of three men and a 16-year-old boy at a Long Island park.

Leniz Escobar, 24, learned her fate on Tuesday in the murders of Justin Llivicura, 16, Michael Lopez, 20, Jorge Tigre, 18, and Jefferson Villalobos, 18, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release. Escobar was convicted in 2022 of racketeering, including predicate acts of murder, conspiracy to murder rival gang members and obstruction of justice, and murder in aid of racketeering.
