A previously deported MS-13 gang member from El Salvador was convicted Monday for firearm, drug distribution, assault and immigration violations, according to the Department of Justice.

Gerson Serrano-Ramirez, 31, invited an individual to his home after the individual told Serrano-Ramirez and other gang members to reduce their disruptive behaviors at a night club in July 2017, the DOJ reported in a press release.

Serrano-Ramirez strangled the individual in his Tennessee home with an assault rifle strap, sprayed bleach into the victim’s eyes and attempted to suffocate the individual with a bag. He also threatened to kill the individual and individual’s mother if he told anybody about the assault, as the individual’s finger was clamped down with a pair of pliers, according to the DOJ.

Officials seized a video from an in-home security system in Serrano-Ramirez’s home that showed the assault.

“The video showed the strangulation,” David Boling, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville, Tennessee, said to The Daily Caller News Foundation. “It also showed the defendant grab the bleach bottle from the counter. You cannot see the victim’s head/face when the bleach is sprayed, but the victim testified that the defendant sprayed him when the bottle and his face was not be seen on camera.”

An AK-47 assault rifle, several rifle magazines, over 580 rounds of ammunition and drugs like cocaine and marijuana were also captured, according to the DOJ.

He was also convicted for re-entering the U.S. illegally after previously being deported.

“Serrano-Ramirez faces a mandatory minimum sentence of at least 30 years, up to life in prison when he is sentenced on January 28, 2019,” the DOJ reported.

There are over 10,000 MS-13 members in the U.S., with regular activity in the District of Columbia and at least 40 states, according to the White House.

An illegal alien and MS-13 gang member from El Salvador was convicted on Monday by a federal jury on several charges including using physical force to tamper with a witness, illegally re-entering the United States after being deported and multiple counts of cocaine distribution, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s office.

According to the news release, Gerson Serrano-Ramirez, aka Frijole, 31, was convicted on all counts after a three-day jury trial in U.S. District Court.

He was convicted of using physical force to tamper with a witness, being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm, illegally re-entering the United States after previously being deported, multiple counts of cocaine distribution and multiple counts of other firearm violations, according to the news release.

“The jury’s verdict will ensure that another violent criminal alien will be removed from our community for a very long period of time and he will have little, if any, chance of ever inflicting harm outside of his new home – a federal penitentiary,” said U.S. Attorney of Middle District of Tennessee Don Cochran in a news release.

“MS-13 is one of the most violent and dangerous gangs in America, and the conduct that occurred in this case is further evidence of the gang’s ruthlessness,” said Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “The Department of Justice and our law enforcement colleagues are committed to combatting MS-13 here in the Middle District of Tennessee and in every jurisdiction where the gang operates.”

Serrano-Ramirez faces a mandatory minimum sentence of at least 30 years up to life in prison when he is sentenced on Jan. 28, 2019.
