An alleged San Francisco gang leader was convicted Wednesday for several crimes, including racketeering and murder.
Rodriguez ordered a clique member to murder Martinez, authorities said. When Martinez left the bar, he was followed by an MS-13 clique member who shot him to death.
Rodriguez was additionally convicted for ordering the murder of fellow member Giovanni "P Wee" Alvarez on May 25, whom he and other clique members believed to be working with law enforcement. Rodriguez, Edwin "Muerte" Alvardo Amaya, and Kenneth "Nesio" Campos lured Alvarez to a car where they drove him to Bernal Heights Park, where they hacked Alvarez to death with a machete; striking him in the face and torso. Campos and Alvarado Amaya have since pleaded guilty and been sentenced for their roles, according to officials. They are serving 17 and 25 months, respectively.
