A local leader of the bloodthirsty Trinitarios street gang will spend 14 years in federal prison for racketeering activities that prosecutors say include a number of murders.

Aaron “Sosa” Diaz Liranzo led from his Crescent Avenue apartment the Lynn crew of the Trinitarios gang, which prosecutors describe as “extremely violent” and “simply a murderous organization. His title was “Primera,” meaning, “number one,” prosecutors say.

He was arrested and charged in February with a single count of conspiracy to conduct enterprise affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity — or RICO. It’s a wide-ranging charge that encompasses a variety of organized criminal conduct, including murder.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton in Boston sentenced Diaz Liranzo to 14 years in prison, as requested by federal prosecutors, to be followed by three years of supervised release. He’s also required to pay restitution of $8,146. The defense requested a 12-year sentence.

“In this and related cases before this Court, six murders are alleged to have been committed by its members in furtherance of gang’s goal,” assistant U.S. Attorney Philip Mallard wrote in his sentencing memo, adding that these are in addition to the “many other murders that were successfully prosecuted in state court and others that remain unsolved and uncharged.”

The victims of these murders were all members of the Lynn rival gang Tiny Rascal Gangsters — which has seen its own share of federal prosecution for RICO activity, as previously reported by the Herald.

While Mallard says that Diaz Liranzo was not charged as a participant in the murders, he, as a leader, “certainly promoted and furthered their murderous ends” and that he did attempt a murder himself in March 2019.

“The Defendant participated in a well-orchestrated hit that would have resulted in a double murder, but for lifesaving care that victims received,” Mallard wrote.

The victim were lured to a nightclub by a Trinitarios member who posed as a woman on social media, according to Mallard’s memo. Diaz Liranzo was dropped off at the nightclub where he then opened fire on three rivals as they sat in their own vehicle — striking two of them.

Mallard recommended the below-average 14 years despite the severity of the crimes because it was Diaz Liranzo’s first criminal conviction.

“Nevertheless, but for the immediate and complete acceptance of responsibility demonstrated by the Defendant, a 20-year term would be more than warranted,” Mallard wrote.
