A Guatemalan man was sentenced last week by U.S. District Judge David Hamilton to more than 32 years in prison for his involvement as the leader of the 18th Street Gang in Indianapolis

Isaias Roderico Barrios-Lopez, 32, received the sentence for his involvement in what the U.S. District Court in Indianapolis referred to as “guns, gangs and drugs,” according to a statement from Mary E. Bippus, spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Susan W. Brooks for the Southern District of Indiana

Indianapolis police in 2005 said the 18th Street Gang and the Sur-13 gang considered each other bitter rivals. Barrios-Lopez was convicted of cocaine conspiracy and a firearms violation.
