JR.’S MOM RAGES
‘Killer!’ she screams at slay suspect in court
The heartbroken mother of slain Bronx teen Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz shouted “killer!” in Spanish at the man who allegedly delivered the fatal blow to her son — as he professed his innocence in court Wednesday.
“Asesino!” Leandra Feliz yelled at reputed Trinitarios gangbanger Jonaiki Martinez-Estrella as he and alleged accomplice Danel Fernandez walked out of Bronx Supreme Court.
The two had just pleaded not guilty to charges they killed Junior.
Twelve suspected Trinitarios were indicted by a grand jury on murder, gang-assault and weapons charges Wednesday.
They face life in jail without parole if convicted of murder, according to Bronx DA Darcel Clark.
In announcing the indictments, Clark revealed that the Trinitarios killed Junior, 15, because they thought he was a rival gang mem- ber — not because of his resemblance to someone in a sex tape as investigators previously believed.
The alleged killers are members of the Trinitarios subset “Los Sures,” which is locked in an “ongoing beef ” with rival faction “Sunset,” according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea.
“They set out looking for a member of that group,” he said.
The dozen gangbangers met at alleged leader Diego Suero’s Boston Road home before going hunting that fateful night, Clark said.
“They allegedly drove to the territory of the Sunset group, came upon Junior and chased him into a bodega in the Belmont section, where he tried to hide,” Clark said.
Then they hacked him to bits with knives and a machete. He ran to nearby St. Barnabas Hospital but collapsed on the sidewalk outside and died.
“They did not kill a man or a gang member. They killed a good boy,” Feliz said outside court Wednesday.
Afterward, the gangsters returned to Suero’s home to patch up Elvin Garcia, who suffered a hand wound during the melee, according to Clark.
Officials stressed Wednesday that Guzman-Feliz had no gang affiliation and was an innocent bystander. Investigators previously believed he was mistaken for a teen in a sex tape that allegedly depicted a gang leader’s female family member.
“There was a lot of social media, and it took a lot of time to sort out a number of those things, but as far as we know at this time, there was no relation to any sex tape to this particular case,” Clark said.
Meanwhile, Shea revealed that the NYPD used its controversial gang database to track down the 12 indicted suspects.
Officials previously told The Post they did not use the database.
To not use it, he said, “would really be asking my detectives to fight crime with one eye closed and one hand tied behind their back.”
Junior’s accused killers have all pleaded not guilty.
