INDIANAPOLIS -- A federal grand jury returned an indictment Wednesday against a man arrested in Indianapolis as part of an investigation into the MS-13 criminal organization.
Jose Salvador Gonzalez-Campos, aka “Danger,” was arrested along with three other suspected MS-13 members in August at a home in the 2800 block of West Ray Street on the southwest side.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed in the case, the arrests came as part of an 18-month investigation into MS-13 activity out of the Columbus, Ohio, area.
Gonzalez-Campos was identified as an El Salvadoran national who is reportedly in the country illegally. He was indicted Wednesday for unlawful possession of a firearm by an alien illegally or unlawfully in the U.S.
The arrests are the latest related to MS-13 in the Indianapolis area.

Also in August, federal officers identified two other men with Indianapolis ties in an indictment targeting 10 alleged members of MS-13. The men were also alleged to be part of clique of the gang based out of Columbus, Ohio.
That indictment, which included 32-year-old Jose Martin Neftali Aguilar-Rivera and 22-year-old Jose Manuel Romero-Parada, both of Indianapolis, accused the alleged MS-13 members of conspiring to commit extortion through the use of threatened or actual force, violence or fear to intimidate their victims into paying money to the defendants and their co-conspirators.
If found guilty, Gonzalez-Campos could face a lengthy federal prison sentence, along with possible deportation.
