Bronx Trinitarios member who stabbed Lesandro ‘Junior’ Guzman Feliz to death dies in prison: records

The Trinitarios gang member who delivered the fatal stab to 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman Feliz has died in state prison custody, public records show, less than a month after he was re-sentenced for the Bronx teen’s shocking murder.

Jonaiki Martinez Estrella, 31, is listed as “deceased” as of Friday on the state Corrections Department’s online inmate locator. No other details about his death were immediately available Sunday. He was being housed in the maximum-security Coxscakie Correctional Facility.

Junior’s caught-on-video June 20, 2018 killing horrified and outraged the city.

Martinez Estrella was part of a group of gang members who mistook Junior for a member of a rival Trinitarios set and chased him into Cruz and Chiky Grocery on E. 183rd St. near Bathgate Ave. in Belmont. They dragged him out to the street and butchered him with knives and a machete.

Martinez Estrella plunged a large knife into Junior’s throat, severing his jugular vein.

He was initially convicted of first-degree murder and faced life without parole but an appeals court tossed that charge in March 2023, ruling that “the evidence did not establish the very specific elements of that crime,” namely that he intended to inflict torture on Junior before his death.

Martinez Estrella remained convicted of second-degree murder, conspiracy and gang assault. On May 30, a Bronx Criminal Court judge re-sentenced him to 25 years to life.

Mobbed-up Long Island cop staged fake raid at rival ‘Sal the Shoemaker’ gambling parlor: feds

A mobbed-up Nassau cop working behind-the-scenes for the Bonanno crime family staged a fake raid to shut down a gambling parlor run by rival Genovese gangster Salvatore “Sal the Shoemaker” Rubino, federal prosecutors charge in new court filings. Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper. What happens to unclaimed property? Organizations have between one and five years to try to reunite account holders with their property, depending on the state and industry. After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim.
