Prosecutors say one of the last MS-13 gang members charged in the killing of four teens in Central Islip back in 2017 has been sentenced.

Omar Antonio-Villalta received 55 years in prison.

Antonio-Villata admitted to his role in the killings in 2023 after he was extradited from Virginia.

Prosecutors say that's where he ran after the 2017 murders.

The four victims were lured to the park and killed by a dozen gang members with machetes, knives and an ax.

The defendants believed they were rival gang members.
