Irwin Leveron was born in Apopa, El Salvador on November 9, 2004 to father Hugo and mother Lucia Leveron (nee Araujo). His older brother, Jose, was also born in Apopa during 1999. Leveron’s father was a bus driver, employed in San Salvador, and sent bribes to Mara gangs. His mother was a homemaker and the primary victim of domestic abuse by his alcoholic father. Leveron’s parents are ethnic Salvadorans of entirely Latino descent. 

 

Leveron spent much of his childhood in the streets of his Apopa neighborhood. He was frequently absent from home and schools to avoid his dysfunctional family and schoolyard bullying. He became involved in crime at age 8. His crimes started with pickpocketing, vandalism and loitering; they progressed to robbery and theft over the years. His older brother Jose mentored him with robbing tourists in particular, as they’d often visit Downtown San Salvador via urban trains to steal from tourists. In 2011, his father was blinded in a bus robbery when he was shot in the face by the 18th Street gang. 

 

Leveron departed El Salvador in 2015 at age 11. He was accompanied by a Mara Salvatrucha gangbanger Wilfredo Alvarado and another street kid, Esmeralda Menjivar. The trio left their families behind with little notice, and as such, were not initially taken seriously. They traveled through Guatemala and Mexico until reaching the United States, two months later. They settled in Los Santos, San Andreas as unaccompanied minors. Their families have reported them as missing in El Salvador, although the police have done little to help. Their whereabouts are still unknown to their relatives. 

 

Leveron and his two friends lived in the streets of South Los Santos for several months. Their period of homelessness ended when a previously unknown 2nd cousin of Alvarado’s provided them residency in Northern Rancho. This 2nd cousin, Ronald Alvarado, was an American-born criminal who harbored the adolescents. While being harbored, they were enrolled in area schools under assumed names and falsified family connections. While attending JR High and high schools in Rancho, they all joined the Lowenstein Grandes Salvatruchas. They all had to commit homicides to get initiated. 

 

Leveron continues to illegally reside in the United States. Still underage, he’s actively gangbanging with the Lowenstein Grandes Salvatruchas. He has taken advantage of school enrollment by selling stolen properties and hard drugs on his school grounds. Although he is mostly truant, he completed a season as a linebacker on his high school’s junior football team during the 2019 - 2020 school year.
