16-year-old girl convicted in Sultan gang murder EVERETT – A Monroe girl is facing more than 18 years in prison after being convicted this morning in a gang-related killing on a Sultan street.Ana Cary Ayala Bustos, 16, was found guilty of second-degree murder. A Snohomish County Superior Court jury also found that Bustos participated in the killing to keep her position in a gang. That could mean a longer sentence for Bustos. The standard range is 10 to 18 years. Bustos faces up to life in prison because the jury found that her motive for the attack was gang-related. The 90-pound girl was accused of taking part in the beating and stabbing of Antonio Marks of Marysville. He was a rival gang member who met up with members of the Brown Pride Soldiers on a Sultan street. The June 17 attack was captured on video. Bustos admitted she participated but denied responsibility for Marks' death. Marks, 17, was knocked to the ground, kicked, stomped on and stabbed. Four other young people pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in connection with the slaying. They are serving 10- to 15-year sentences. Bustos pleaded not guilty and had her case appear before a jury. The jury began deliberating on Monday afternoon. They announced their guilty verdict this morning. Bustos is expected to be sentenced on April 27. “They're all behind bars. Now my son can rest,” Marks' mother Angelina Reyes said outside the courtroom. “Maybe this will send a message to gang members. Maybe they'll think twice about what they're doing.” |

Let's call it what it is; TERRORISM. If any other nationality besides our Mexican neighbors were causing this much havoc, we would call out the military to stop it. When Mexican drug gangs guard huge pot farms in our National Parks and public lands with AK-47s and trip wired explosives, THAT'S TERRORISM. Mid East Terrorists have actually asked the Mexican Drug Cartels to blow up targets in the US but so far they have strategically refused to do it to keep the drug corridor open between Mexico and Seattle.
