New York City police arrested a 14th suspect in connection with the "brutal" killing of teenager Lesandro "Junior" Guzman-Feliz in June, according to a report released on Sunday.
Frederick Then, 20, went to his home, police sources told WPIX and were charged with murder, manslaughter, assault, conspiracy and criminal possession of a weapon.
He reportedly hid in New York and Passaic County, New Jersey, using several different phones to stay under the radar.
Guzman-Feliz, 15, was stabbed to death in a bodega in the Bronx on June 20th.
On the night of June 20, the NYPD reported that the police responded to a 911 call regarding an assault that was taking place just before midnight.
Surveillance footage showed that Guzman-Feliz was dragged out of the store by his attackers, who were repeatedly seen stabbing the teen with a machete.
Guzman-Feliz, according to the investigators, had an argument with a group outside the bodega on East 183rd Street and was stabbed in the neck. The suspects fled and Guzman-Feliz ran to the hospital on the other side of the street, where he died.
Ronald Urena, 29; Kevin Alvarez, 19; Luis Cabrera Santos, 25 years old; Danel Fernandez, 21 years old; Elvin Garcia, 29 years old; Antonio Hernandez-Santiago, 24 years old; Jonaiki Martinez-Estrella, 24 years old; Jose Muniz, 21 years old; Danilo Payamps Pacheco, 21 years old; Gabriel Ramirez Concepción, 26 years old; Manuel Rivera, 18 years old; Diego Suero, 29, and Jose Taverez, 21, were also arrested after the death of Guzman-Feliz, police said.
Guzman-Feliz was enrolled in the NYPD Explorers youth program and his dream was to become a detective for the city, his family said after his death. A scholarship fund has been created in his honor.
