Justice for Junior: Bronx bodega where teen murdered becomes 'Safe Haven Zone'

A horrific tragedy has inspired a new safety initiative in the Bronx.

A bodega in the Belmont section was unveiled Wednesday as the city's first "Safe Haven Zone," seven months after the brutal gang murder of Lesandro "Junior" Guzman-Feliz.

Many in the community think the bodega owner didn't do enough to help the 15-year-old boy, who ran into the store as he fled his attackers back in June 2018 .

Since then, bodega owners have banded together in an effort to save lives and protect themselves.
