Guilty Plea in Gang Murder

Three years after Eduardo Chandias Almendarez was stabbed to death and dumped into a drainage pipe behind the Cora Kelly School, the last of his killers has pled guilty and will face sentencing early next year. On Oct. 23, over a year after Boris Rosa Castro was convicted of first-degree murder and Edwin Guerrero Umana pled guilty to the same crime, Johnathan Gomez Sorto pled guilty to murder. Almendarez had been a witness to an MS-13 related non-fatal shooting and was murdered by members of the gang to prevent his testimony. Castro, Umana and Sorto approached Almendarez at the nearby McDonalds under the auspices of buying marijuana to lure him to the nearby park where he was stabbed 96 times.
