Convicted killer of Lesandro 'Junior' Guzman-Feliz found dead in NY prison
- Jonaiki Martinez-Estrella, associated with the Trinitarios gang and convicted in connection with the fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Lesandro "Junior" Guzman-Feliz in the Bronx, was discovered deceased at Coxsackie Correctional Facility in 2025.
- The murder took place on June 20, 2018, when Junior was wrongfully identified as a member of a rival gang and fatally stabbed in the neck by Martinez-Estrella and several others during an attack outside a bodega located at East 183rd Street and Bathgate Avenue.
- Junior ran to a nearby St. Barnabas Hospital but collapsed outside, and his dying words were that he needed water, while his family and community launched the #justiceforjunior movement seeking justice.
- Martinez-Estrella’s initial conviction for first-degree murder, which carried a life without parole sentence, was vacated by the Court of Appeals in early 2023, leading to his resentencing in May 2023 to 25 years to life for second-degree murder and associated offenses.
- With Martinez-Estrella’s death, 13 other defendants remain imprisoned for their roles, while Junior’s family continues to advocate for safety measures like panic buttons in bodegas to prevent such tragedies.
