Rapper Cardi B has donated $8,000 to the family of Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz, who was butchered to death with a machete in a case of mistaken identity.
In a security video taken of the incident, the 15-year-old can be seen being dragged out of a bodega before being repeatedly stabbed by five men with machetes and knives on Wednesday night in the Bronx.

It allegedly happened because Lesandro was mistaken for another man in an online sex tape. Following the attack, gang leaders issued an apology via Snapchat.
After the attack, Lesandro, covered in blood, attempted to limp to the hospital, which was only a few blocks away.

Derek Grullon, 19, who was the victim’s brother-in-law, said that he has been receiving messages from people claiming to be part of Trinitarios, a Dominican gang known for violence.
“They said, ‘We had the wrong person’.”
His wife, Lesandro’s sister, received similar messages, adding that the gang leader “said they kicked all of them out of the gang.”
Upon learning of this mixup, Grullon said, “We cried. He was innocent.”
