Скачать или смотреть 'Justice for Junior': Crying Gang Member Testifies in Murder Trial | News 4 Now

"Suprised" and "scared" -- that's how the prosecution's star witness described Lesandro "Junior" Guzman-Feliz minutes before he died in a savage machete attack.

A self-described gang member took the stand Monday, at one point wiping away tears from his face, and described what happened last summer on the night the 15-year-old was dragged out of a Bronx bodega and slain in a machete attack by a group of alleged Trinitarios gang members.

Kevin Alvarez, who pleaded guilty a few weeks ago, took the stand to testify on behalf of the prosecution.

Alvarez, of the Bronx, was charged in June 2018 with second-degree murder, manslaughter, gang assault and assault.

Five out of more than a dozen suspected gang leaders are facing trial for the murder of Guzman-Feliz, who was killed in the savage machete-and-knife attack.

His voice cracking, Alvarez testified Monday about being a member of the gang. At one point, he wiped tears from his face.

Anchor Stefan Holt also reports on a police brutality investigation in New Jersey, an attack in the Bronx and a shark in the Long Island Sound.
