Lesandro Guzman-Feliz Murder Case: 12th And Final Suspect Arrested

Police have arrested the 12th and final suspect involved in the gruesome murder of Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz.

CBS New York reports Danilo Payamps Pacheco, 21 was arrested Monday (July 9) while driving a gray Honda. Surveillance from the Jun 18 attack showed the vehicle during the first half of the group’s chase for the 15-year-old. Police believe Pacheco was apart of the chase and also fleed the scene (in another car) with a group of the suspects, who used a machete to murder the teen.

Surveillance also showed Pacheco next to the second car, a white Acura, which was used as the getaway car.

Pacheco was charged with murder, manslaughter, gang assault and criminal possession of a weapon. He was briefly held New Haven Correction Center on a $1 million bond and will appear in a New York Court today (July 10.)

All of the suspects are said to be apart or affiliated with the Trinitarios gang. Some have been held on murder and weapon charges.
