The five men who viciously slashed a New York teenager to death with knives and a machete in a case of mistaken identity last June were found guilty of murder on Friday.
Video surveillance showed Guzman-Feliz, who wanted to be a police officer, being dragged out of a Bronx bodega on his back by a group of men and then repeatedly punched and slashed by long knives and a machete. He died from a gash to the neck after running three blocks to a hospital. The New York Police Department, through the Police Foundation, created a $10,000 scholarship fund in the teen's name to award two Explorers with $5,000 each to be used for tuition or school expenses. The recipients of the award will be announced in August.
