Horrifying footage of a brutal slashing attack has been released by the NYPD, showing a large pack of young men attacking a 14-year-old boy in The Bronx, mere days before another teen was killed in high-profile similar attack.
The incident took place in the early hours last Monday, when police arrived to find the young man unresponsive and covered from head-to-toe in stab wounds. Rushed to the hospital, the young man eventually lost his kidney and is still listed in critical condition.
At the time of the attack, he was brutally chased by 15 alleged Trinitarios members, who cornered him within a construction area on the Bronx River Parkway and hacked away at him in broad daylight as cameras rolled.
According to the Daily Mail, several suspects, including 21-year-old Ramon Paulino, have been arrested in connection to the attack.
The Trinitarios -a violent gang made up of members with ties to the Dominican Republic- are so far being considered responsible for the incident, as well as the one that cost the life of Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, a 15-year-old who was dragged out of a bodega and stabbed to death after being mistaken for someone else.
The Daily Mail reported that prior to his murder, Guzman-Feliz expressed dreams of being a police detective. He was pulled from a convenience store and brutally assaulted, with the attack caught on security footage.
The killing of Guzman-Feliz -a displaced teenager who was living in a homeless shelter- is believed to be that of mistaken identity, involving a similar-looking teen who posted a homemade sex video (involving a gang member’s niece) to Facebook.
The Trinitarios gang is considered one of the fastest-growing gangs in New York, known for violent behavior that would not seem out of place in a third-world nation.
Now, it seems, they threaten to bring that behavior in the streets of the Big Apple.
The Trinitarios have also been reported to be popping up in Georgia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Washington D.C.
