NEW YORK — Police arrested five people Sunday in connection with a brutal machete attack on a teen outside a Bronx bodega earlier in the week.

Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, 15, was pulled out of the Cruz and Chiky grocery Wednesday by members of the Dominican gang Trinitarios, who beat him, hacked him with a machete and left him to die on the sidewalk outside the store in what officials believe was a case of mistaken identity, according to the New York Post.

Gang members wrongly believed Guzman-Feliz was in a revenge sex video posted online that featured a relative of one of the attackers, according to the Post.

A leader of the gang later apologized on Facebook for the mistake, according to WPIX.

Thanks Democrats.

This is an awful story, there is a picture of the teen being dragged out of the bodega by the hood of his sweatshirt and then another with him being hacked with a machete. The owner of the bodega was there when the kid was being dragged out and did nothing.

By all accounts he was a good kid who wanted to become a NYC cop. These killers deserve a slow tortuous death and their gang needs to have the wrath of DHS and the NYC gang unit come down on them hard.

As for the bodega owner, people should shun his business and let him go bankrupt.

These are the Democrat POSTER CHILDREN. These are the ones they demand be RELEASED into OUR SOCIETY if they show up at border with a kid.

We need to tie them around the NECKS of all Democrats in November.

Yes, the bodega owner should have let himself be hacked to bits, too. Clearly.

Who knows? It's possible some of them were among the kids their parents showed up at the border with a few years ago (or came on their own).

Yeah, that makes it all okay. Tell the dead 15 y/o and his family about how sorry you are...

Beats me, but once they say IMMIGRANT, we need to pounce, at least if they’re from sh!thole countries.

“...in what officials believe was a case of mistaken identity,..”

The Trinitarios and DiBlasio say “..oops, sorry about that..”

Why? The owner of the bodega is not responsible for the wellbeing of everyone who visits his local store.
He might not have even known the kid and did not wish to engage in a fight between strangers.
This occurred in a place where if he HAD intervened with the proper tools, he would assuredly be in prison. He was in a tough spot.

[capydick]

He waited way too long to call the police.....

[capydick]

The bodega owner knew the kid, didnt intervene at all and waited way too long to call the police.....maybe I’m different but I’m gonna try to help that kid one way or the other but you’re right, if NYC didnt have such restrictive 2A laws the owner and others could have prevented this altogether.
