Cuellar was originally found lying dead outside near an apartment complex in the 8400 block of Loch Raven Boulevard at 3:30 in the morning.
An autopsy later found that he was killed by "multiple sharp force injuries".
Charging documents revealed the suspects were watching Cuellar and decided the day before to kill him, because he was making a hand gesture affiliating him with another gang.
