This is the largest carjacking arrest operation in the District of Puerto Rico. The 10 indictments are the result of a joint effort between the U.S. Attorney’s Office the FBI and the Puerto Rico Police Department (PRPD).

The 17 defendants are: Luis Agosto-De Jesús; Elías Quiñones-Hernández; Kelvin Mundo-Vélez; Ángel Tarik Marchi-López; Jason Piñero-Vera; Jesús M. Martínez-Valle; José Cortez-Vilella; Jassel Díaz-Santana; Yanitza Mejías-Centeno; Oliver Thomas Rodríguez, aka “Bin Laden;” Ramón Acevedo-Carrasquillo; John Doe 1; John Doe 2; Dave Berríos-Hernández; Johan Díaz-Martínez; Edwin E. Narváez-Soto; Miguel A. Andino and Jesús M. Ríos-Ramos.

These 17 defendants are responsible for many violent crimes within Puerto Rico, and had committed offenses which until now remained unsolved.
