MONROE – A Self-proclaimed member of the MS-13 street gang has
been charged with stabbing two people with a knife in the Village of Monroe
just after midnight on Friday morning.
A police officer on patrol on North Main Street near the Mobil gas station

Monroe Ambulance was called to administer first aid.
Other officers responded including with a K-9 unit. The suspect, later
identified as Fredy’s Guitierrez-Zomora of Monroe, had fled into
a wooded area. He was tracked down and apprehended, charged with felony
assault and criminal possession of a weapon. He was remanded to the Orange
County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail.
Investigation revealed Guitierrez-Zomora had gotten into an argument with
one of the victims and threatened him with a knife. He chased the victim
through the gas station parking lot and stabbed him in the chest with
a knife while yelling “MS-13.” As the victim’s friend
approached to help, the suspect slashed him with a knife and then fled
into the woods.
