A 2-year-old boy watched his mother get shot to death by MS-13 gang members in a wooded section of Central Islip last year before one of them turned the gun on the crying toddler, killing him, according to federal court papers.

The mother, Vanessa Argueta, 19, had taken her young son, Diego Torres, with her on what she thought was a dinner date last February because she didn't have a baby-sitter, the court papers said.

Among those who took part in the execution-style killings, according to the federal documents, was the mother's former boyfriend.

The account of the killings is contained in recently unsealed court papers, implicating MS-13 member Adalberto Guzman, 17 at the time, as one of the three people involved in the killings of the mother and son, according to federal prosecutors.

The suspects tried to persuade Argueta to leave her son at home, knowing they had no intention of taking her to dinner, "but she didn't have anyone to watch her son," according to the court papers.

Murdering toddlers Americans won’t.

Nice people - not. Animals. Hopefully more will go to Long Island and the Upper West Side. Hopefully Bloomberg will give them rent control apts in the Upper West Side.

Sick bastards. Hope they get prison justice.

Clearly stricter gun control targeting law abiding citizens is exactly what we need to combat this kind of gang violence. And if that doesn’t work, we’ll pass an amnesty bill. That ought to help. and if that doesn’t work, we’ll call on Conservatives to tone down their rhetoric which certainly ought to end senseless violence in America.

We don’t need more on LI. We need more to return to their home countries...

Ain’t multi-culturalism great?

Send them all to “college” and then put them on the ‘RATS’ “pathway to the voting booth”. They’ll make great DemocRATS. The Party of Death.

Central Islip has always been a hole. The place is known for the insane asylum there.

[Nitehawk0325]

MS-13 is the biggest and strongest gang in the United States. If I remember correctly, I heard the leader of the gang is in a prison in Northern California. The law abiding gun owners need to be careful. According to the Obama regime, the legal gun owners are more apt to be hurt or killed by our own weapons. If someone, anyone, breaks into my house, this legal gun owner who has a federally issued conceal permit from back in the military, will take them out and without remorse. I will protect my family with whatever it takes. BEWARE OF THIS GUN OWNER.

Does this mean the shooters won’t be eligible for the Dream Act? For Amnesty?

The majority of people in NY voted for this.

Of course! Cruel white robber barons have stacked the deck against small hardworking brown people who come here only seeking jobs and justice!!!/SARCASM

Plans change; double murders happen; even when it's a young Mother and her toddler son.

Legal or illegal (?); not that it matters to the deceased, of course.

Not at all, not at all. Why do you ask?

I thought it was from beyond Mexico (El Salvador). Mexico tries to shut them out of its southern border, but they come anyhow.
