Dramatic police footage captures the intense moment Carlos Alfredo Alvarenga Medina, a notorious gang leader known as "Muerte" or "Death," is apprehended from his concealed hideout behind a false wall in Santa Ana, El Salvador, in August 2023.

Armed officers discover the secret compartment within the wall, revealing Medina's squalid den. In the video, Medina emerges, hands on head, and is handcuffed, exposing his gang tattoos. As a leader of the violent international gang MS13, Mara Salvatrucha, Medina's capture is a significant blow to organized crime.

Gustavo Villatoro, the Salvadoran Minister of Justice and Public Security, affirms the commitment to relentless pursuit of other criminals. The footage underscores the ongoing battle against criminal networks.
