*1 Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: ^[*]

Juan Ramon Carcamo-Cruz petitions this court for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying his application for statutory withholding of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3). He does not brief any challenge to the denial of withholding of removal under the Convention Against Torture. Accordingly, this issue is waived. See Soadjede v. Ashcroft , *2 Case: 15-60850 Document: 00513947553 Page: 2 Date Filed: 04/11/2017

No. 15-60850

324 F.3d 830, 833 (5th Cir. 2003) (issues not briefed are considered abandoned).

In his petition, Carcamo-Cruz contends that he is eligible for statutory withholding based on his membership in a particular social group (PSG), to wit, individuals who were part of a crowd of persons being robbed but were singled out, shot, and subsequently threatened by the MS-18 gang. He does not point to any evidence in the record or to any relevant legal authority that shows that his proposed PSG has a common immutable characteristic, particularity, or social distinction within the Salvadoran community. See Orellana-Monson v. Holder , 685 F.3d 511, 517-22 (5th Cir. 2012), as modified by Hernandez-De La Cruz v. Lynch , 819 F.3d 784, 786-87 & n.1 (5th Cir. 2016); see Bouchikhi v. Holder , 676 F.3d 173, 181 (5th Cir. 2012).

The petition for review is DENIED.
