A man who gave the order for a rival gang member's murder was sentenced to 18 years in prison Wednesday.

Daniel A. Bonilla Delcid, 24, of Alexandria, was the first of five suspected MS-13 gang members sentenced for the July 18 slaying of Shannah Marie Angeles in Stafford County.

Angeles, 21, of Palatine, Ill., was shot in the head and body and left in the woods, where her body was found four days later. Prosecutors said Angeles was visiting a friend when she was targeted because MS-13 members thought she was a member of a rival gang.

Bonilla Delcid pleaded guilty to conspiracy and participating in a criminal street gang in January. He was not at the scene when Angeles was killed, but prosecutors said he gave the "green light" for the shooting.
