In 2003, the lifeless body of a pregnant teenage informant was discovered by the tranquil shores of the Shenandoah River. She had suffered multiple stab wounds, with her head nearly decapitated. Brenda Paz had been providing law enforcement with crucial insights into the workings of MS-13. At the time, she was one of 3,000 members of the gang in the Washington, DC region. This rapidly expanding and increasingly violent gang operates from the quiet, middle-class neighborhoods surrounding the city.
