15-year-old Stabbing Victim Lesandro Guzman-Feliz Died After ...

A teenager has died after being attacked and stabbed in the neck outside a Bronx bodega, according to what witnesses told authorities, who shared that information with ABC 7.

Investigators said that 15-year-old Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, known in the neighborhood as Junior, told his mother he was headed to repay $5 to a friend before ending up in a dispute just a block away from his home in New York City’s Bronx borough around 11:40 p.m. on June 20. He was the youngest of three, according to the New York Daily News.

The New York Post reported Lesandro, a student who attended Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health and Science Charter School in the Bronx, ran into the bodega to escape the attack but was dragged back outside.

“He tried to run into the store because he thought he’d be safe. They dragged him from the store like a dog,” Lesandro’s sister, 17-year-old Genesis Collado-Feliz told the New York Post. “They were grown men and he was only 15.”

ABC 7 reported Lesandro was able to run one block to the hospital before dying from his injuries.

"All I can say was that he was a good kid," Genesis told the local station. "He just played Playstation. He played Fortnight. He played 2K, like every 15-year-old. He asked me for advice with girls."

Investigators told the New York Post they believe the stabbing may have been gang related, but Genesis told ABC 7 her brother wasn’t involved in any gang activity.

At least five people were involved in the attack, according to NY Daily News, which obtained a cell phone video of the group fleeing after the incident. ABC 7 reported that no arrests have been made.
