pictures of the three suspects who have been arrested and charged with murder. 16-year-old, 17-year-old and 14-year-old. police tell us they are also still working to identify afo rth suspect. detectives believe the motive here was to keep diaz quiet. she knew her three lleged killers. in fact, on april 17th, police tell us she allegedly committed a crime with the three teenagers in d.c. and police believe those teens were concerned that diaz would go to policend talkso they allegedly lured her into the woods and killed her. as you said, police believe -- s police tell hat the two boys in this case are members of ms 13. this is the mithird ms 13-relat murder since march. police are telling us these are not nnected. they want the public to know there is no immediate threat to the public and this was actually
5:01 pm
