The 43-year-old man who shares three kids with his daughter’s mother, claims he only became aware of the video after news of the mistaken-identity slaying in the Bronx exploded on social media and people began to search for answers, including researching the bio-data of all involved.
On June 20 Guzman-Feliz was dragged out of a bodega in the Bronx by a group of men who slashed him repeatedly with machetes, stabbed him in the neck and left him for dead.
Police believe the attack was carried out by the Trinitarios gang members who confused Guzman-Feliz with another teen.
Prosecutors allege the men were looking for a rival gang member who had been filmed having sex with one of the Trintarios’ girlfriends on Snapchat.
That girlfriend is believed to be Javier’s 15-year-old daughter.

Javier says he immediately recognized his daughter when his brother sent him the video on Facebook.
The 17-second video shows a young man who looks like Guzman-Feliz performing a rap while the girl is lying on a table engaged in sex in the background, according to The Post.
She would have likely been 14 years old at the time it was recorded in August 2017. The video was shared illegally on Snapchat and other social media websites.
‘I cried a lot… it’s disgusting to see my daughter in a video like that,’ he said via a sign language interpreter.
‘I don’t know what happened. Their mother doesn’t raise them right. It’s pathetic.’

Javier said he doesn’t recognize any of the eight men who have been arrested in connection with Guzman-Feliz’s murder, but some there have been reports that the girl in the video was related to a gang member.
‘I’m sorry this happened. I feel lost. My heart is broke. I’m shocked, I’m very emotional right now,’ he said.
Javier who also has two sons with his daughter’s mother, one 14 and the other 17, claimed he doesn’t recognize any of the eight men arrested in connection with Guzman-Feliz’s murder.
His children’s mother has an order of protection against him for unknown reasons, and he said he has no idea what role his children could’ve played in the death, if any.
“Everybody on Facebook is saying it’s my fault, but I don’t know anything, I haven’t seen her,” Javier said, adding he sends his condolences to Guzman-Feliz’s family.

Javier and his daughter both have been receiving death threats on social media, he said
‘Everybody on Facebook is saying it’s my fault, but I don’t know anything, I haven’t seen her,’ he said.
The threats led Javier to deactivate his account.
‘I have to be careful walking around, I’m scared… I’m worried… I need my safety for these children,’ he said.
The father said that he has not been contacted by authorities, and that his daughter is not the girl who has been provided police protection.
Police have not confirmed if Javier’s daughter was under investigation, but the girl and Guzman-Feliz reportedly, both are in the NYPD Explorers program for youths interested in a career in law enforcement, source said.

In an interview Thursdays, Alvarez denied responsibility for the 15-year-old’s death, claiming that he wasn’t aware his crew was armed with knives and machetes and thought the plan was just to fight.
‘I thought it was just going to be a fight when I came out the store and I turned around and saw the machetes,’ he said.
By the time he realized what was happening and yelled at the others to stop, it was too late, he says.

Alvarez was seen backing out of the surveillance video and isn’t seen again.
He said he only found out Lesandro had died when a friend called to tell him.
In the Daily News interview Alvarez revealed he had to be transferred from Rikers Island because he was being threatened by other inmates.
He claims a corrections officer said he would leave the door open so he could be attacked and he’s left unable to sleep at night.
‘I was scared. I don’t get scared. I was in the military, but I was so scared. People think I’m a monster. They want me dead,’ Alvarez said.
