<p class="mol-para-with-font"> Iraheta, then 17, believed Damaris had lured her boyfriend, Christian Sosa Rivas, to his death.<br />
Both Iraheta and Rivas were members of MS-13, an ultra-violent transnational gang based in Central America that has terrorized parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia, investigators said.</p>

<p>Authorities suspect that Rivas&#8217;s death was ordered by top ranking members of the group in El Salvador, supposedly upset over his claim that he was a leading member of the group.</p>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">His body wasn&#8217;t found by police until days later, on January 12, in the icy Potomac River.<br />
In revenge for her supposed role in Rivas&#8217; murder, Iraheta lured Damaris to an area near Lake Accokirk Park in Fairfax County on the night of January 8, 2017 with an offer to smoke marijuana, according to prosecutors.<br />
Three ghoulish cell phone videos, which have been previously played or described in court, show parts of what happened next.<br />
Jose Cerrato, then 17, shot the videos to prove his loyalty to MS-13, prosecutors said.</p>

<strong> Iraheta was one of 10 people involved in the gruesome murder of Damaris, prosecutors say. She supposedly blamed Damaris for luring their shared love interest to his death, days earlier</strong></h6>
<div> Prosecutors said Thursday that they believe 17-year-old Venus Romero Iraheta was the chief attacker who carried out the brutal slaying Maryland teen, of Damaris Alexandra Reyes Rivas.</p>
<p class="imageCaption">Iraheta lured Damaris to a wooded area near this park with an offer to smoke weed together, prosecutors say. Three gruesome cell phone videos show the gang torturing the girl.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">The first video shows the 10 gang members surrounding Damaris in a wooded area of the park, screaming in Spanish and berating her, the <a class="" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/she-told-the-girl-shed-see-her-in-hell-before-stabbing-her-now-shes-guilty-of-an-ms-13-murder/2018/01/08/6751986a-f24a-11e7-b390-a36dc3fa2842_story.html?utm_term=.f03e9a6501c3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Washington Post</a> reported. One gang member snaps a cigar cutter menacingly at the girl and tells her she&#8217;s should loose a finger.<br />
A second video shows Damaris stripped of her shirt and shoes, standing shivering in the cold while the group interrogates her about Rivas&#8217; death.<br />
Iraheta wields a large hunting knife in the video and a voice is heard off-camera urging &#8216;stick the steel in her&#8217; in Spanish.<br />
The cruel torture then moved to one final location, near a Beltway overpass.<br />
Iraheta a recited her full name to ensure Damaris knew her killer&#8217;s name and &#8216;told the victim she would never forgive her and would see her in hell&#8217;, an FBI agent testified based on witness interviews.</p>
