<p class="mol-para-with-font">Jurors began deliberations on Thursday. While mulling the verdicts, they asked to re-watch graphic surveillance video showing the moment Guzman-Feliz was dragged out of the convenience store to his death.<br />
They also asked for a rehash of testimony and review all the evidence the prosecution had.<br />
All five convicted killers face a life in prison. Their sentenced has yet to be scheduled.<br />
&#8216;Today&#8217;s verdicts will not bring Junior back. Nothing can,&#8217; Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr said in a statement addressing the outcome of the trial. &#8216;But these verdicts will send a message to those who would commit acts of senseless violence, and help us move forward and bring closure to this awful chapter in our borough&#8217;s history.&#8217;</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">When the gruesome video capturing her son&#8217;s final moments was played for the jury last month, Leandra Feliz began howling in agony and had to be escorted out.<br />
According to Trinitarios gang member and cooperating witness Michael Sosa Reyes, Trinitarios ringleader Diego Suero ordered his followers to go after the rival Sunset Crew that evening last June.<br />
Shortly afterwards, the gang members spotted Guzman-Feliz on the sidewalk and mistook him for a member of the rival clique.<br />
At first the men perused him in cars and blocked him from seeking refuge inside a hospital, before pursuing him on foot.</p>

He watched on as other members of the Trinitarios gang dragged te terrified 15-year-old out of the store by his ankles, and savagely hacked away at him with knives and a machete on the corner of the street.<br />
