‘How bout you call the ambulance like ya be calling for back up when ya see n****s smoking in front of a building! People be like “Call the police! Call the police!!” But the operators be asking you questions for like four minutes on the phone with an attitude and the cops come maaa lateeee.’

It was later discovered that the gang mistook the 15-year-old teen for someone else.
Police say they thought it was a boy who appeared in a sex tape with one of their relatives.
The attackers reached out to a relative via SnapChat to send their ‘condolences.’
‘They’re just saying it wasn’t for Junior, it was somebody else but they confused them and they say sorry and they apologize and they send their condolences,’ the relative told the police. ‘He’s gone, that doesn’t change anything.’
Guzman-Feliz’s mother, Leandra, hopes the men who killed her son take their confession to the authorities.
‘Apologize, go to the precinct,’ she said. ‘Say “I killed this kid, take me to jail.”‘

Cardi B will always have a special place in her heart for the Bronx community, but has openly admitted that the crime-ridden borough ‘f***ed’ her up.
In an interview with Music Choice, she talked about how the Bronx ‘made’ her.
‘I’m from the hood. I’m a product of my environment,’ she said. ‘Everything where I’m from really influenced me. It really influenced my music, it really influenced how I grew up.’
