MS-13 MEMBER WILL BE TRIED AS AN ADULT AFTER HE EXECUTED A MOTHER & HER 2 YEAR OLD SON!

The feds are prosecuting a teen gang member as an adult in the execution-style slayings of a young Long Island woman and her 2-year-old son, the Daily News has learned.

A Salvadoran member of the notorious MS-13 gang, who was 17 years old at the time, lured a mother and her child to a Central Islip industrial park last February and, in the coldest of cold-blooded murders, they were shot in the head, the feds say.

A judge gave prosecutors the unusual go-ahead to bring murder in aid of racketeering charges against the thug - similar to what they would slap a mobster with for carrying out a hit, court papers reveal.

"It is hard to imagine a more compelling case for transfer to adult status," Federal Judge Joseph Bianco wrote in his ruling. "The juvenile justice system, including the limited sentencing options...is simply ill-equipped and woefully insufficient under the circumstances of this case, to adequately address in the interest of justice these most grave charges."

The defendant, whose name has not been made public, was a juvenile under federal law at the time of the slay. He is now 18.

The 19-year-old mom, Vanessa Argueta, was born in Los Angeles, the daughter of Salvadoran immigrants. She had been dating one of the MS-13 members, who later shot her, court papers show.

After she had a falling-out with the shooter, Argueta asked members of the L.A.-based 18th Street Gang, a rival to his MS-13 with tentacles across America, to beat him up. Both are Latino gangs.

She gave her ex-beau's address in Suffolk County to local members of the 18th St. Gang posse. The ex told the 17-year-old MS-13 member about the beef and they decided Argueta and her toddler, Diego, must die, the feds allege.

Argueta was shot in the head and the chest; little Diego was shot twice in the head.

The teen then fled to El Salvador with the shooter and a second gunman. He was arrested in April at Miami International Airport when he tried to return to the U.S., court papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court show.

The teen defendant was examined by a forensic psychologist who found an "odd and disturbing preoccupation with blood."

It is unclear from court papers whether the two others are still in El Salvador. Authorities have not publicly announced the teen's arrest.
