'I'm not going anywhere,' rapped a defiant MS-13 gang member. Days later, he was dead
sfgate.com
Christian Sosa Rivas knew he was a marked man. The brash, 21-year-old leader of an MS-13 clique in Springfield, Virginia, had incurred the wrath of rivals in the violent street gang. So in late 2016, the aspiring rapper sat in the back of a dimly lit car and recorded what would be his last music video.
"There are lots of people who want to see me die," he rapped in Spanish over an ominous melody, flashing a middle finger at the cellphone camera. "I'm not going anywhere."
Sosa Rivas uploaded the video - titled "I'm Still Alive" - to YouTube on Dec. 10, 2016.
Three weeks later, his mutilated body was dumped in the Potomac River.
Within days, members of his clique retaliated, torturing and murdering a 15-year-old girl who they believed had lured him to his death, authorities say...
"I'm being followed, [gunshots] sounding all around me," he said. "I've built myself armor that my haters can't destroy."
But that armor failed him three weeks later, in the early hours of New Year's Day. Sosa Rivas had been lured to a park in Dumfries, Virginia, under the pretense of smoking marijuana with a girl he'd once dated, according to authorities.
"Come sit with me," the unidentified woman texted Sosa Rivas, moments before four men from the two cliques attacked him with machetes, sticks and rocks, according to the affidavit. The men are accused of dragging him to the Potomac, where one of them stood on the body to submerge it before piling rocks on it.
