Facebook has been dinged because it’s much-ballyhooed claim that it is cleaning up its act by cracking down on explicit content didn’t prevent the posting of a sex video linked to the grisly slaying of 15-year-old Lesandro Guzman-Feliz.
Cops suspect that the 17-second clip — which shows a leering young man having sex with a woman lying on a table — may have led a group of gang members to mistake Guzman-Feliz for a second guy who stands next to the copulating couple and raps, leading the gang to target the wrong person.

The X-rated posting came as Facebook has been running a massive ad campaign to rehabilitate its image in the wake of Russian political meddling and the Cambridge Analytica data-mining debacle. To this end Facebook had announced in a recent image cleansing ad campaign: “From now on, Facebook will do more to keep you safe and protect your privacy”.

After the brutal ‘revenge’ killing the murderers allegedly, all members of the deadly Dominican Trinitarios street gang took to social media, bragging about the kill.
However the leadership Trinitarios sent posted an apology to the victim’s family for the murder of the wrong guy on Snapchat.
“I’m sorry,” one of the messages from a “top leader” said, according to Derek Grullon, 19, the boyfriend of the victim’s sister, Genesis.
“I know it doesn’t mean a lot. It wasn’t supposed to be him,” the message continued.
The gang leader affirmed in the two-minute Snapchat recording that the five responsible have been booted from the notorious Dominican crew.
“He [the gang leader] said they kicked all of them out of the gang,” Grullon said.
“We cried,” Grullon said of hearing the messages. “He was innocent.”

The Instagram users all using the handle Chippi Caine have been bragging about murdering 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz posted a video this weekend showing the Bronx boy bleeding out on the sidewalk.
“This who ya should be mad at,” wrote user @chippy.caine_bx. “Pigs was down the strip the whole time and coulda saved that boy life. We ain’t realize it wasn’t him till it went viral. Nypd been corrupt and killed plenty of my n—as!”
There was a posting under the handle of a photo showing a kitchen knife that the user claims delivered the fatal blow to Guzman-Feliz, according to police sources.

There is a manhunt for the user for @chippi.caine_bx, who claims to have taken part in the brutal killing of Guzman-Feliz last Wednesday night. The user created the profile on Saturday — calling himself “untouchable” and boasting about his involvement.
“Ya said I would be dead or in jail by now,” Caine wrote in one post. “What happen?”
Other accounts with similar usernames, which have also been created in recent days, were also bragging online about Guzman-Feliz’ death.
The first Caine wrote Saturday that the only way he would get caught by police is “if I turn myself in.”
“Keep sleepin on us trini n—as,” the user said, in reference to the deadly Trinitarios street gang, which allegedly carried out the hit on Guzman-Feliz.
“No n—a getting away with rape ion give a fuck who it is,” he added.
Investigators believe the individuals who attacked Guzman-Feliz mistook the teen for a young man seen in an online tape having sex with one of the suspects’ female family members, according to sources. Caine has threatened people who re-post the video.
“Stop repostin bro sister or we gon find u,” the user said. “I got gang in ya state!”
On the other hand, ​incriminating messages apparently posted by one of the gang members on Instagram could prove extremely damning in court and provide prosecutors the framework for conspiracy and murder, legal experts said.
