Lesandro “Junior” Guzmán Feliz, the young Dominican who was hacked to death by gang members and died bloody in front of a winery, will now have a street with his name in the Bronx. Her mother Leandra Feliz, inaugurated the street with her name in the same place where Lesandro, 15, was stabbed. The official presentation of the new poster with the name of her son was held on the same day as the mother's birthday, who received balloons and flowers from the crowd that accompanied her during the emotional event and sang “happy birthday” to her.

Lesandro Junior Guzmán Feliz Way is on the corner of 183 Street and Bathgate Avenue in the Bronx. Lesandro's father, Lisandro Guzmán, was also present and both were moved by the people's expressions of affection. Without a doubt, the young man's murder shocked the world and his legacy of compassion touched many lives.

The young man, known to his friends as Junior, had a clean record, and dreamed of one day joining the ranks of the New York Police Department. Lesandro lived at the end of the block from the warehouse where he was brutally murdered. Junior was part of NYPD's Law Enforcemente Explorers, a program that gives young people - men and women - the opportunity to explore a career in the field of law. "He dreamed of being a police officer from a young age," Junior's father said after his death. "He was a happy boy, he was my son and my best friend." Rest in peace.
