The 15-year-old boy who was dragged out of a Bronx bodega and brutally slashed to death with a machete may have been the victim of a tragic case of mistaken identity involving a sex video, according to cops.
Investigators believe Lesandro Guzman-Feliz [photo left], could have been mistaken for a man in an online sex tape with a relative of one of the attackers before he was butchered outside the Zesarina Grocery at 11.40pm on Wednesday.
It came as his mother, Leandra Feliz, 48, described her son as a ‘sweet’ kid with no connections to gangs who had enrolled on an NYPD program to become a police officer.

‘His dream in the future was to be a detective,’ she said. ‘Since he was five years old, he told me, “Mommy, I want to be a police”.’
