The corner of East 183rd Street and Bathgate Avenue will forever be immortalized as ‘Lesandro Junior Guzman-Feliz Way.’ Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. and Councilman Ritchie Torres joined Junior’s parents and the NYPD Explorers on Wednesday, February 27 in formally renaming the corner where the 15-year-old was brutally murdered last June, sparking the #JusticeForJunior movement.
The Lesandro Junior Guzman-Feliz Way street sign was unveiled to the cheers of many in attendance.
