MS-13 Member Convicted in Mendota Terror Case | Fresno News
Description
A chilling chapter in Mendota’s war against MS-13 closes as Armando Orellana Guevara is convicted for his decade-long role in terror, extortion, and murder — now facing life behind bars. His most brutal act: a 2020 riverbank stabbing that nearly killed an informant, leaving him with a punctured lung and life-threatening wounds. Guevara’s criminal legacy spans years — from drug deals and extortion to hunting rivals and plotting killings — including a 2018 chase that ended in a fatal stabbing. With sentencing set for November 5th, and another top gang member, Martin Leiva-Leiva, awaiting trial in 2027 on charges including six counts of capital murder, authorities are moving to dismantle MS-13’s grip on the community — one conviction at a time.
