After three weeks of testimony and cross-examination, closing arguments began today for two alleged gang leaders accused of causing the death of 15-year-old Lesandro "Junior" Guzman Feliz.

Prosecutors told jurors during their final argument that alleged gang leaders Diego Suero and Frederick Then gave orders to kill that resulted in the death of Feliz. The defendant’s lawyers attacked the credibility of the prosecution’s key witnesses.

Both Suero and Then are charged with murder, manslaughter and gang assault in the killing of Feliz in June of 2018.

The jury will receive instructions from the judge before deliberations begin tomorrow. If convicted, Suero and Then will face sentences of 25 years to life in prison.
