A 16-year-old whose body was found in the Green River in September was allegedly killed during a fight with two MS-13 gang members, according to court documents.

King County Sheriff deputies discovered Juan Carlos Con Guzman's body on Sept. 10 in the Green River. The King County Medical Examiner determined Con Guzman died of a combination of blunt force trauma and cuts to his neck, court documents said.

During the course of the investigation, detectives learned that Con Guzman was picked up by Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega and Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez to participate in a pre-arranged fight to settle a dispute, according to court documents.

It was also stated in court documents that Con Guzman left all his belongings including his phone, wallet, and identification at home when he went to meet the two suspects.

The three went to the 12300 block of the Green River Valley Road SE in Auburn to have the fight. Detectives said in court documents that after the fistfight was over, Iraheta-Vega pulled out a baseball bat that he had previously hidden in the bushes there and beat Con Guzman. Garcia-Hernandez then cut Con Guzman's neck, court documents said.

Iraheta-Vega was arrested in Federal Way on Tuesday and booked into King County Jail.

The search continued for Garcia-Hernandez, who was located in the parking lot of Federal Way Winco Foods Wednesday. Garcia-Hernandez resisted arrested and drew a handgun from his waistband at officers.
