A dispute over a parking spot on Long Island has ended with a life-without-parole sentence. Prosecutors say 23-year-old Kayla Alvarenga ordered the kidnapping and murder of 29-year-old Linver Ortiz Ponce after he parked his red Camaro in front of her Bay Shore home in September 2022 and refused to move it, People reports. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said Ponce had pulled over on the residential block to rest after a night out, reports the New York Post. According to Tierney's office, Alvarenga summoned 28-year-old friend Christopher Perdomo and three teenagers, who dragged Ponce from his car as he slept, beat him, and took his vehicle.
Ponce ran to a nearby gas station to hide, but authorities say Alvarenga told her co-defendants to find, abduct, and kill him. The group forced him at gunpoint into a vehicle, drove to a church parking lot, and continued the assault until Alvarenga ordered Perdomo to shoot him as he crawled away, prosecutors said. "A man is dead because he parked in front of the wrong house. This defendant orchestrated his kidnapping and murder, directed co-defendants to hunt him down, and used minors to get it done," Tierney said in a statement. "The jury saw exactly what she did, and now she will spend the rest of her life in prison for it."
Alvarenga was a leader in a Bay Shore-based gang called "Family Over Everything, Everybody Killed," the Post reports. A jury convicted her of first-degree murder, kidnapping, robbery, and conspiracy. Perdomo, who pleaded guilty to crimes including murder and kidnapping, will face up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced next month.
