Alleged Trinitario Linked to Teen Stabbing in Norwood Rounded Up in NYPD Raid

A suspect involved in the June 2018 gang attack of a 14-year-old teen on the Bronx River Parkway near the East Gun Hill Road exit is among those arrested in a sweep of Trinitarios on Wednesday morning. NYPD cops coordinated a number of raids in the Bronx and Manhattan, arresting multiple alleged leaders of the Trinitarios gang, according to PIX 11. The arrests happened in the Soundview section of the Bronx.

The members were detained for stabbings and attacks conducted over the last several years throughout upper Manhattan and the Bronx, including the attack on Bronx River Parkway.

 

The gang approached the victim at French Charley Park near East 204th Street and Webster Avenue on June 18, chasing him onto the busy parkway. In a graphic 17-second cell phone video obtained by police, over a dozen men, some shirtless, can be seen beating and stabbing the boy with sticks and knives before taking off. Some men were seen carrying machetes. The attack occurred just two days prior to the killing of a Lesandro “Junior ” Guzman-Feliz, according to police at the time.
