NEW YORK — Police have arrested a 14th suspect in connection with the brutal stabbing death of Bronx teenager Lesandro (Junior) Guzman-Feliz.
Frederick Then, 20, an alleged Trinitarios gang member, surrendered himself to police Sunday, just four days after cops released a photo of his face to the media. He’s charged with murder, manslaughter, gang assault, conspiracy and weapon possession.
Police didn’t say Sunday what role Then, who lives in Reading, Penn., played in the 15-year-old’s June 20th murder.
Police have charged 13 other alleged Triniatrios members with Lesandro’s murder, including several suspects who are accused of chasing the doomed teen in the moments leading up to his killing.
Surveillance footage shows a group of men drag the teen out of the Cruz and Chiky Grocery on E. 183rd St. near Bathgate Ave. in Belmont, then repeatedly hack and stab at him with a machete and a knife.
“I’m innocent,” Then told reporters in Spanish as police led him out of the 48th Precinct stationhouse Sunday night.
He awaits arraignment in Bronx criminal court.
