00:00by Daniel to this individual and he helped secrete the body and bury the
00:05body of Miss Shea. She has been dead for several days. The preliminary hearing in
00:14this matter will be held on September the 12th of 2025 at 930 in the morning.
00:20The bond today was set by Judge Eileen Oliver. Eileen Oliver is a judge of the
00:25district court for the state of Maryland. She held the defendant, Mr. Embry,
00:30without bond today, citing that there was no restrictive, no less restrictive
00:34condition that she could set in this matter that would keep the committee
00:38safe. As a result, Mr. Embry is held without bond at this point in time in
00:43the Montgomery County detention facility. Mr. Shea Daniel, the son, has not been
00:49arranged yet. I will have further comments about this matter after he is formally
00:54served, after he is arraigned, and we have a bond hearing in this matter as
00:58well. Beyond that, is there any questions about Mr. Embry's case?
01:04Yeah, just going to the court, I am saying that the officers found the
01:08person who was talking about. Talk a little bit about how the plan was
01:14included in that process.
01:17Well, let me just say this. I don't want to become too involved in the nature of
01:23describing the crime scene, other than within the charging document, you know
01:28that there was a welfare check that was being made by the Montgomery County Police.
01:32They do them on a regular basis. There was some concern for Ms. Shea that was
01:36raised by an independent party. The police went there, and in doing the welfare
01:41check, they saw what appeared to be some blood that they thought was suspicious.
01:45The doctor online lists the offense date as August 1st. Do you have any information about when
01:54Ms. Shea may have died?
01:58Let me say that we are continuing the investigation here. Ms. Gleason and Mr. Lawless are
02:06handling the case for the state in this matter. I can tell you it's an ongoing matter establishing
02:13the precise date of her death. Clearly, she had been dead for some period of time. The exact
02:20date is a matter of continuing investigation.
02:25Mr. Lawless, can you give just any insights that there was a loud boom reported by some
02:32neighbors that we spoke to a couple days ago? Do you have any insights? They did mention in
02:37court that this was a beating death. Do you have any insights about what she had died?
02:41Beyond what's in the charge, I'll refer you back to the charging document and what was said
02:45in open court. Beyond that, I'm unfamiliar with the boom or any of that, but in any instance, it doesn't
02:54happen. Additional details will have to await another date.
02:57And I'm sorry, last question on this. Can you explain why, Mr. Shea, why that charge has
03:03not happened yet? Is there additional evidence there?
03:06Well, I think it's multiple reasons. There's a medical issue he's dealing with. We
03:13know where he is. He's being guarded. He's under arrest. He's just not been processed.
03:18There's a medical situation really unrelated to the crime, so I don't want to
03:23people speculating. There's another medical condition they're dealing with. When he's
03:27released from medical care, he will then be processed. But that's what the delay is.
03:32Thank you. All right.
03:36The MSP.
03:38The second matter that we're here to discuss today is Eduardo Castro Contreras. Mr. Contreras was
04:01sentenced yesterday. I'm sitting here with Teresa Casafranca, who prosecuted this case, along
04:08with Gabriel Guerrera from my office. This matter was tried before Judge Teresa Ternofsky in this
04:18building. It was a circuit court trial. It's one of the longer trials we've had in quite some time. This
04:23case actually took five weeks to try. After a five-week trial on July 4th of this year, the jury
04:30returned, among other verdicts, guilty verdict of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder,
04:36and multiple firearm charges that were associated with those attempted murders and murder. The events
04:44took place on November the 9th, 2022. It was in the Pawnee Branch area of Silver Spring where this murder
04:53took place. This homicide, as was clear from the evidence adduced at the time of trial, this is a gang-related
05:01homicide. This was a gangland slaying. The gang involved in this case was MS-13. What was happening in this
05:10case, and this was what was developed at trial in this matter, is that Mr. Contreras, along with others,
05:17took two individuals, the victims in this case, and they were being disciplined because it was thought
05:23that they had robbed a brothel that was being run by MS-13. That turned out not to be the case in the
05:32instance of the young man who was killed. He was not a gang member, nor was he involved in robbery of any
05:39brothel. He was a recent arrival to the United States. But they were ordered to be killed. They
05:44were taken to a secluded wooded area where both were shot multiple times. Miraculously, one of the
05:52individuals did, in fact, survive. He pretended to be dead. After his attempted killers went away, he
06:00crawled himself through the woods for about a mile to a place where he sought assistance, and he
06:07survived. He then brought the police and directed the police as a location where his
06:13friend, who had been shot multiple times, including in the back of the head, was, in
06:17fact, deceased. The deceased in this case was Edwin Leon. He was age 20 years old. And again, that's
06:29what happened here. In this case, there's a lot of people, when you put on a case of this
06:35magnitude, this complexity against an organized gang, organized criminal enterprise here in
06:41Montgomery County, MS-13, I want to thank Tess Katz-Frank. She's head of my gang unit,
06:46Gabe Pereira. This put on a five-week trial is a massive amount of work. The Montgomery County
06:52gang unit did a magnificent job cooperating with my office and putting the facts together. The
06:58National Capitol Park police was also involved because the bodies were dumped in park property.
07:04Montgomery County Fire and Rescue assisted us in this matter. And I will also say the
07:08homicide unit, this was a dual effort of multiple divisions of the Montgomery County
07:13police, including homicide. I would talk to one thing, and we've talked about this, is
07:19one thing about MS-13. They target their own. They target their own communities. And I will
07:28say to you that if you are a member of the Hispanic Latino community, and you are being victimized
07:34or terrorized by MS-13, they have no safe harbor in Montgomery County. They have no safe harbor.
07:41And quite candidly, if you want to live the way you want your families to live, with the kind of
07:46safety that you want for your families, you've got to cooperate with us. We thank those people
07:52who did cooperate with us in this prosecution. But again, the pattern here is in many instances
07:58intimidation, abuse, and violence against their own community. The only way to contain this is with the help of that
08:06same community working with us, with law enforcement, to make sure individuals like
08:11this are held accountable for their crimes. And I hope we get that message out.
08:17We cannot do this without your assistance and make you safe the way you deserve to be safe.
08:23And we will not tolerate violence perpetrated against you by groups like MS-13.
08:29Can I talk about, on that day, there were two MS-13 murders?
08:34Yes.
08:35I think that as
08:38Well, again, as I understand it, they were responding to the first murder when they heard the
08:44shots from the second murder. That's how close they were to one another. I am aware of that.
08:49Again,
08:51There's nothing of a problem in that community.
08:56Let me say there are a couple of different pocketed areas, including where this took place.
09:01I think it's an enormous issue. I think these are heavily Hispanic, Latino communities.
09:06And quite candidly, they are intimidated by MS-13. And so they survive by preying on their own people.
09:13And intimidating their own people. And they do take a grip. And there has been, you know, we've had
09:19situations like the two homicides that occurred in close proximity to each other. It does happen.
09:25It affects the quality of life in those communities. And again, if we were to analyze where the
09:33majority of MS-13 activity takes place, we could probably get out a map and show you where they are.
09:40We know the communities that are being affected. And they know where they are, too.
09:45And again, we'd like to reverse that.
09:47What impact is the current atmosphere with regard to immigration?
09:50What is happening on both sides? Reducing the district team or reducing cooperation?
09:57Look, one of the great challenges in law enforcement is to make sure that you put the message out there
10:04that if you're a victim of a crime, we protect everybody. I'm going to tell you here in Montgomery County,
10:10your immigration status does not change the way we will actively pursue people who violate you,
10:17threaten you, or do violence against you. Against the backdrop of some of the other things,
10:23I think it is more difficult, quite candidly, to get people to cooperate with us, come forward,
10:29because they're afraid of the collateral consequence of what's going to happen to them,
10:33their families, and their children if they become identified as someone who doesn't have a certain status here.
10:39It's a very difficult balance for us, because we see people, look, I'm telling you,
10:44I've seen women who were targeted and raped in this community, and during the course of the rape,
10:49people identified them based on the race or ethnicity, and telling them,
10:53look, I know you're not going to ever report anybody, and literally committing rape and telling the victim,
11:00you'll never tell because I'll get you deported if you do. They use it as a tool, they use it as a weapon,
11:06they use it as a threat, so we've seen it with rapes, we've seen it with robberies,
11:11and we've seen it for a long time, and it is, you know, I think we had made some progress,
11:17I think here in Montgomery County, and again, I just believe we can't make this community safe
11:24unless we protect everybody, regardless of their status, everyone gets protection here from my office,
11:31and from the Montgomery County Police. It's the only way we can make this community the way we want it to be.
11:36On the flip side, what's been going on? Reduce ideas to crime? Have they reduced their gang activity?
11:43All right. I'm going to let Tess answer that question as the head of our gang.
11:52Yes, we've seen some sharp decrease in overt MS-13 activity, so I can't speak to, I mean,
12:00this is a criminal organization that operates under the level, you know, under the radar,
12:04but I would say that our law enforcement partners do believe that, at least for purposes of
12:13MS-13 overt criminal activity, it is down.
12:18John, are you able to put this into perspective, just the gruesome nature of this killing?
12:22I mean, you just mentioned that this 20-year-old wasn't even an MS-13 gang member yet.
12:27He was brutally murdered.
12:29Well, let me just say, they knew what they were about in this case.
12:34They knew when they went down there and they lured these, brought these young boys down there,
12:39they knew they were bringing them to kill them.
12:41They brought the weapons, and they were both.
12:44One was shot basically in the back of the head, the other was in the neck.
12:47These were executions. There was nothing subtle about this,
12:52and there were a number of weapons and a number of shooters that were involved in this case.
12:56You know that there were five defendants, and very, very much.
13:00Well, again, one of the things that we're trying to be wary about,
13:04I'm not going to mention anybody else's names.
13:06I don't want to get into that.
13:08There is a presumption of innocence.
13:09Anybody has not been, there is another individual who's fled,
13:12but we still have open cases.
13:15And in one case, we went to a trial and it was a hung jury.
13:18We've got to retry it.
13:19So I'm not going to get into the specific facts about anybody else.
13:22I'm not going to do that.
13:25That will come at a later point in time once we get to a verdict in those cases as well.
13:29Okay, listen, thank you.
13:33Oh, go ahead.
13:34Can you just expound upon, and I want to make sure I'm characterizing and contextualizing what you said properly,
13:39but the drops, what are those covert, you know, what exactly,
13:45I think you can just give more detail about the drops that you have seen.
13:49What is that type of activity?
13:51Well, so that, I mean, that would be a question for law enforcement.
13:54We handle cases once they're charged and they come across.
13:57But as another individual mentioned, these were two homicides in one day,
14:02and that is obviously extreme.
14:04We've not seen anything like that recently.
14:07And then my final question was just the complexities of these types of cases,
14:13you know, a five-week trial, a lengthy investigation.
14:18Can you just walk through some of the challenges of prosecuting and putting together cases?
14:23You know, can I say this?
14:25I'm going to yield the test, so I'll let her talk about how she put this case together with Gabe,
14:30who tried this case.
14:31Go ahead.
14:33I mean, these are incredibly complicated cases,
14:35because you're dealing with victims and victims' families oftentimes.
