Daniel Garcia‑Carbajal was 18 when he was lured to Cow Meadow Park in Freeport, New York, on March 1, 2021. Told he was meeting girls for a party, he was picked up by several people and walked into a wooded area with the group, where he was shot once in the head. His body was found the next day after a family member reported him missing.

Prosecutors say members of the MS‑13 street gang targeted Garcia‑Carbajal over social media posts they considered disrespectful. The investigation produced arrests: Kevin Torres, known as Sarco, was convicted by a jury in June 2024 of second‑degree murder and conspiracy and received 25 years to life; Marvin Moralez, known as Little Chucky, pleaded guilty and—after a separate arrest for pointing a loaded gun at an officer—accepted a plea resulting in 23 years to life for the murder and the later incident. Tulio O. Ayala and Manuel Gomez pleaded guilty to second‑degree murder and cooperated with prosecutors; Henry Canales pleaded guilty to first‑degree manslaughter and was sentenced to ten years. Edgardo Caballero was arrested and charged with conspiracy.
