On Sunday, April 25, 24-year-old Gerson Stanley Juarez, who is currently incarcerated in Westchester County Jail, was charged in connection to a 2016 scheme to kill 19-year-old Osmin Campos-Sandoval, a member of the 18th Street gang, a rival of MS-13, Nassau County Police Det. Lt. Stephen Fitzpatrick announced.
Stanley Juarez has been charged with second-degree murder and was arraigned in Mineola.
On Tuesday, March 9, police announced Hempstead resident Christian Rodriguez, age 23, had been charged with second-degree murder for his alleged role in the murder.
In February, Hempstead resident Sandra Tobar Meija, age 22, was also charged with murder for her role in the scheme.
MS-13 members allegedly smoked marijuana with Campos-Sandoval in the woods near the Uniondale water tower while posing as fellow gang members to make him feel comfortable, police said.
According to reports, Mejia and Campos-Sandoval dated in their native El Salvador before Mejia moved stateside and began dating a member of MS-13.
“They butchered him, hit him, and buried him,” police said, with Campos-Sandoval’s remains being found in October 2020 near the water tower.
