Jorge Potter-Alvarado was 19 when he was found shot to death in a field off Old Hickory Boulevard in Nashville on April 6, 2016. His killing was later described as one of seven murders tied to the Thompson Place Los Salvatrucha clique of MS-13 operating in the Nashville area.
The investigation was folded into a federal racketeering case that produced a 60-count second superseding indictment charging nine alleged gang members in a wide-ranging conspiracy that included murders, kidnappings, assaults, robberies, and drug distribution. The indictment named Carlos Ochoa-Martinez known as El Serio; Jason Sandoval known as Bin Laden; Jorge Flores known as Peluche; Kevin Tidwell known as Miklo; Jose Pineda-Caceres; Franklin Hernandez; Luis Colindres; Gerson Serrano-Ramirez; and Juan Melendez. It alleges one or more of these members conspired in Potter-Alvarado’s murder, and all nine were taken into federal custody.
Does anyone have information about Jorge Potter-Alvarado or that area of Nashville in spring 2016 that could help explain what happened?
