11th suspect in ‘Junior’ killing turns self in to police: sources

THE BRONX, N.Y. -- (WPIX) -- An 11th suspect wanted in connection with the killing of 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz outside a Bronx bodega has turned himself in to police on Friday, law enforcement sources told PIX11 News.

The 21-year-old suspect surrendered to officers at the 48th Precinct. He allegedly was part of the foot chase that pursued a terrified Guzman-Feliz for blocks, after a convoy of four vehicles carrying alleged Trinitarios gang members went looking for rivals the night of June 20.

A source told PIX11 that Guzman-Feliz became scared when he saw the posse in the cars and started running. That's when they gave chase.

The suspect, who was the subject of a surveillance image released by detectives earlier this week, didn't enter the bodega where Guzman-Feliz was attacked but he was seen near the rear passenger side of the white Acura parked at the scene, pacing from one side to the other, until other suspects run toward the sidewalk outside the bodega when the 15-year-old was was pulled outside.
