There is a general consensus among law enforcement when it comes to naming names—don’t. The theory behind it is simple—naming the gangs and giving them credit for their crimes glorifies the gangs.

Court documents show that agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have identified Carlos “Ciego” Bladimir Montoya is an active member of the gang Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13. Montoya was arrested on Sunday, May 3 in eastern Loudoun.
