The situation around the recent murder of a teenager, Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz, in the Bronx continues to develop, with the father of the girl involved in the altercation stepping forward to express his anger and disappointment.
The whole thing reportedly started after a sex tape was leaked involving the daughter of Javier (last name unknown), and a group of gang members getting together to kill the alleged perpetrator.
Things went wrong, however, when it became clear that the murdered teenager had nothing to do with the sex tape and was completely uninvolved in any gang activity or similar dealings.
The gang responded by apologizing to his family and claiming that all members responsible have been expulsed, although that did not seem to do much to calm anyone down.
Javier is now apologetic towards the victim’s family himself, and apparently feels anger and guilt over what has happened and the way the whole story went down.
He is clearly also not impressed with the fact that his daughter was shown in the video, although that seems to have taken a backseat to his disappointment over the murder itself.
New materials have emerged in the meantime, painting the incident in an even more tragic light, such as a video recording showing the owner of the bodega trying to help the teenager as he was being dragged out.
Despite being so close to a hospital, the teen did not manage to make it far before collapsing from his wounds right at the entrance to the facility. Eight alleged suspects have been caught by police so far.
People in the area were deeply affected by what occurred and have paid tribute to the slain teenager in various ways. They say he will never be forgotten. Some celebrities like La La Anthony and Cardi B also brought national attention to the murder case.
