Teen Boy Killed In Bronx Bodega

Have you guys heard about this case? I saw the video. Omg I am traumatized. This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen in my life.

He was chopped and stabbed by 6 men. He was a 15 year old boy. It is a case of nistaken identity. The Bodega owner did nothing to help him. His killers dragged him out of the store and stabbed and chopped him right in front. The Bodega owner came out and looked and went back in.

How can a human being do this to another? No compassion.

I will not post the video. It is too graphic. The killers escaped. I believe 1 has been caught. He boarded a flight to DR and when he got there his mother turned him in. If you want to know more check out hashtag Justiceforjunior.

Yes. Saw the video, but without sound. He ran to the hospital with cuts in his throat. Apparently his last words was him asking for water. I don't even know Junior, but this angers me. He was just a baby.

It's been almost four days, and despite those monsters faces being captured clear as day in the surveillance tape, no one has come forward. Hearing his mother and sister on camera was heartbreaking. Someone in that neighborhood knows who did it, and they need to speak up.

The IG of one of the murders is public.

People on Social Media are trying to track them down.

People in the neighborhood know. A new video surfaced of someone in the building taking videos of the whole thing from above. There were two cars and around 10 people. you can see them getting into the cars after the fact and you can hear the neighbors screaming form them to stop and you can see Lessandro try to cross the street after the stabbing. The worst part is you can see the store owner and working shoo them out the store as they drag this boy who was on the floor out of the store. I am so sick.

I heard the people in the neighborhood closed down the store.

I found out about this story on Friday night, and it immensely disturbed my soul. The boy was 15 and was ambushed and attacked by 6 grown men.

I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I happened across a photo on a friend's IG and I couldn't tell much of what was going on from her caption, so I clicked the hashtag, and was shocked at what I was seeing. There are so many videos capturing this boy's death, yet no one really helping him at all, and it disturbed me so much. On one of the videos, you just see him as he sits on some steps surrounded by cops and people, drenched in blood. It broke my heart.

And was angers me even more is that they spent all that time organizing this attack just for it to be the wrong boy. I saw yet ANOTHER video of the boy they were allegedly trying to target....and he was filming a guy/girl having sex, and I guess he dogged the girl out for being a thot and posted the video online? Idk...and the girl was presumably the sister of one of the killers. I didn't even read further into it, but I hurt for that boy who lost his life for no reason at all.

I've seen too much death all in one week, both in person and online, and I need a break. I need a soul cleansing or something.

I happened across this video because Cardi B made a post about him and I went to the hashtag. She eas more angry at the police officers who stood around than the gangmembers who killed this child. But seeing as she is a member of the Blood gang u wouldn't expect her to call gang behavior out. Apparently people were telling him to run to the hospital which was just a couple of blocks away. Who the heck tells a bleeding child to run...so his heart can pump all of the blood out of his body faster???? I deleted my IG app after that. I'm tired of happening upon death porn and dead bodies. I just can't deal with it anymore.

Yes but why not give them up? He said they were kicked out. What good does that do for the family? So sickening
You know why. I'm sure his family knows whose done it at this point to. But they have to live in that neighborhood. I'm worried for their safety. I'm also worried for the other guy they intended to kill. I live in a particularly violent city and have never heard of anything so depraved. WTF is happening in the Bronx??

It’s so awful what happened to that boy. But I’m tired of the “why didn’t anyone help?!” choir that comes out every time something like this happens. People were yelling for them to stop, people called the cops, a woman was seen in the video trying to stop the bleeding to his neck. But do people expect for someone to have thrown themselves between him and half a dozen or more gang members with machetes?? The ones at fault are the animals who killed him.

They need ti be found and prosecuted. We as a city cannot allow them to get away with such an act. This is a situation in which Social Media has been useful. Everyone is looking for the killers. Teens are actively posting and trying to get clues.

I can see this being an episode on Wisdom of the Crowd.

The reality is folks have families to go home to. There is no way I would have intervened while it was happening. I would have ran as far and fast as I could until I was safely home and then call the police. If these monsters didn't havr a problem hacking up a defenseless child they wouldn't have a problem doing it to me

The community needs to let these gangs know this type of behavior will not be tolerated. Not only do the killers need to be turned in and all of the gangmembers need to be shunned.

What's Wisdom of the Crowd?

A show about a father who creates an App where citizens using their cell phones to help solve his daughter's murder. However the app and it users started solving other crimes that have gone unsolved. More like 1 million eyes is better than one. Its crowd sourcing to solve crimes. I love the show. I love tech. This is why I find this case interesting. The same thing is happening now. People on instagram and FB are really helping put the pieces together.



Btw I have an App called Citizen that alerts me of any crime or police activity in my area or any area I am in. I can also go live if the event is happening near me. Others can do the same or patcjbin and watch. It allows me to stay safe as well.

Exactly. I’d be home before they even finished. Maybe it’s all the superhero movies we watch that have people confused that no one swoops in to save the day, but that isn’t reality.

But now that their faces are plastered all over, clear as day, it’s on the community to step up and help bring them to justice.

From what I read a Dominican gang attacked him because they thought he was someone else.
I thought the old-school way was to yell the person’s name from across the street and see if they respond to it. Yes, the boy does look a lot like the person they were looking for, and I don’t condone brutal killings like this outside of pedophiles and mass murderers. But it seems so odd that they just rolled up on him like this without at least calling him to see if he turns around.

Supposedlt the intended target was also called Junior. I actually think he was set up. His friend called him to get a $5 and the gang just happened to be there? Whether he was not the intended target or not someone put him on their radar.

Gangs are WAYYYY messier than they used to be. For one...the leaders of the gangs are very young now. They recruit babies (as young as 8 now)...and gangs are not as unified but work in small little squads...10th street, this block or whatever. That being said...the usual decision making to keep innocents out of harms way is gone. I wouldn't be surprised if the leaders gave the killers up...its also not surprising that they contacted the family members to confirm the mistaken identity. Since you have the extremely young and highly unorganized and unintelligent running gangs now, you get a WHOLE lot of collateral damage....this is what's going on in Chicago with all the babies being murdered by "accident." No leadership or direction. Everyone knows you are supposed to confirm the target. But the mistaken identity stuff keeps happening. And gangs are not immune to social/neighborhood shock. I wouldn't be surprised if the kid was related to an actual Trinitarios member from another set somewhere else. So the killers would have been "disappeared" in another way in the near future.
