An L.A. high school has emerged as a disturbing backdrop to what authorities describe as a reign of terror in the San Fernando Valley by the notoriously violent street gang with a strong presence in both the U.S. and El Salvador.

Some teachers said they noticed that some of their students dressed in the MS-13 style but they did not necessarily suspect the students of being gang members.Two girls at the school allegedly helped lure 16-year-old Brayan to his death in October 2017 and have been charged in connection with the killing, said Capt. William P. Hayescommanding officer of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division.
Los Angeles Unified School District officials said they had little option but to comply with instructions. One or more of the Panorama students was also linked to the killing of Ochoa-Berrios after their arrests, Hayes said.The seven gruesome slayings linked to the Fulton clique of MS-13 span more than two years, according to a federal indictment unsealed last week that named and charged 22 adults. All are alleged to be members or associates of MS-13. Hayes said the juvenile cases are separate and are largely being handled by state rather than federal prosecutors.
North recalled that Gaeta read the teachers a list of names of students who had been detained by police. One of the students was in a class she taught. Medina said she recalled hearing the names of six students from her 10th-grade history class, which had also included Brayan. About a month later, a distraught girl came up to North. She said that one of the students who was arrested was texting her — insisting he didn’t take part in the killing.
