Police have arrested two men they say assaulted and robbed a 17-year-old from Bedford Park before throwing him into oncoming traffic, causing his death. The fatal push ranks as the seventh homicide within the 52nd Precinct, which had a 200 percent homicide increase this year.

Police confirmed that the two suspects charged in the killing were members of the Trinitarios gang.

Officers from the 52nd Precinct responded to calls of a pedestrian struck outside of a private home at 2670 Bainbridge Ave., between East 194th and East 196th Street, at just after 6 p.m. on Dec. 10.

Officers discovered Angel Reyes-Godoy, a resident of the block, with serious head trauma. He died a short time later at St. Barnabas Hospital. The following day the case was ruled a homicide by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME).

Thanks to a tip to the CrimeStoppers hotline, police officials announced the arrests of Mario Almonte, 20, of East 201st Street and Obeb Adames, 18, of Marion Avenue. Almonte was charged with murder, robbery and assault, while Adames was charged with assault and disorderly conduct.

The unidentified driver of the white 2009 Ford Econoline ambulette that struck Reyes-Godoy, stopped at the corner of East 196th Street and remained at the scene for police. One resident said the driver was seen “pacing back and forth” after striking Reyes-Godoy. The driver of the ambulette was not charged for hitting Reyes-Godoy.

The entire block was shut down for the rest of the night as the NYPD’s Crash Investigation Unit processed the crime scene. One woman looking to park her car on the block was told of the cause for the street closure, she responded, “These kids are going crazy, I swear.”

Asked if the group of teens or young men often seen playing basketball during the summer months are gang members, she replied, “I’m not going to talk about that.”

The area of Bainbridge Avenue and East 194th Street is notorious for drug dealing. Last October seven people were rounded up and charged with distributing potent amounts of the opioid fentanyl.

One elderly resident not afraid to speak out, claimed, “The kids sell drugs over there and we told the police about it during a meeting in the spring, they knew about it.”

Police identified the two suspects as members of the Trinitarios, the same gang authorities said killed 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz in Belmont this past June.

“The common denominator here again is, we have Trinitarios gang members. Some of the same set that was mentioned in the earlier ‘Junior’ Guzman case,” said NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea at Dec. 12 NYPD press briefing, referring to the teen who was pulled out of a deli and killed in the Belmont section in June, in a case of mistaken identity.

Investigators believe the killing had more to do with the suspect’s mistakenly believing that Reyes-Godoy spoke to police about the recent theft of a motorized scooter.

Reyes-Godoy had rented a fourth-floor bedroom from a friend on the block, on an off since arriving in New York in June 2017, after immigrating from Honduras.

One published report quoting Reyes-Godoy’s roommate, said the teen had joined a gang, but had recently “tried to quit.”

When confronted with his comment about Reyes-Godoy joining and quitting a gang, the roommate backtracked, telling the Norwood News, “I don’t know,” with a forced laugh. He added, “I don’t know… no.”

Inside the fourth-floor apartment the roommate said that Reyes-Godoy was unemployed, but often spent time with a brother and sister who live in the New York area. The roommate said Reyes-Godoy “enjoyed playing the guitar and piano,” adding, “he was very good.”

The roommate said that the family was busy raising money with a cousin expected to arrive in the Bronx in the coming days to claim Reyes-Godoy’s body and return him to Honduras for burial.

A GoFundMe page set up for Reyes0Godoy’s flight home and burial has so far raised $1,735 of the $15,000 friends had hoped to raise.

A video of photos from Reyes-Godoy’s life that was posted by his brother Julio, has so far received over 6,000 views. Julio wrote, “Nobody leaves this earth without paying this pain I have in my chest. I would like to face the cowards and tear off their heads one by one.”

When contacted through social media, Julio said “I have nothing to say, I reserve my comments, but thanks for asking.”

The killing marks the seventh homicide for the 52nd Precinct this year and the Bronx continues to lead the city in homicides this year.

Appearing before a judge late Sunday night, Almonte was held without bail, Adames’ bail was set at $50,000.

Meantime, a makeshift memorial comprised of candles and photographs was set up near where Reyes-Godoy died.
