Surveillance video of a 15-year-old boy being brutally stabbed to death outside a Bronx convenience store surfaced on Friday. The New York Post reports that after a brief altercation inside the store, Lesandro Guzman-Feliz was dragged outside by four adult men, who stabbed him repeatedly with knives and a machete before escaping in a van. Guzman-Feliz then ran to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he died from his injuries. Police told the Post that the victim and the suspects knew each other, and the attack could have been gang-related. “He tried to run into the store because he thought he’d be safe. They dragged him from the store like a dog,” the victim’s sister, Genesis Collado-Feliz, told the Post. “They were grown men and he was only 15.” Rap icon Cardi B., who grew up in the Bronx, posted a tribute to Guzman-Feliz on Instagram, writing: “#justiceforjunior R.I.P. These Bronx streets are ruthless .What piss me off the most is that these BX cops be harassing the shit outta people then they see a boy bleeding to death and ask what happen.”
