Boys, 17, charged with murder of future marine crowds, 18, outside of NYC after -party: cops

A 17-year-old boy was dissolved in connection with the Bronx murder of another teenager who was “full of life” and had great hopes to join the Navy, the police said on Friday.

The younger teenager was charged with murder, homicide and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the murder of Juan J. Pena on February 2 in Park Avenue near East 176th Street in the neighborhood of Tremont.

The teenager was broken on February 18 and charged as an adult, although his case is pursued in the youthful part of Bronx's Supreme Court of Criminal Court.

“Tia, I'm good, I'm going to the navy, I'm happy. I just took an exam, ”said Shery Olivo, her nephew Juan Pena told her when she saw him only three days before his tragic death. James Keivom

A judge granted him the supervised release and ordered him to use an electronic surveillance device while the examination is discovered, according to the public prosecutor.

“We asked that the defendant is supervised with electronic surveillance until further investigations have existed and have collected further evidence,” said a spokeswoman for the Bronx public prosecutor in a statement.

Others may have been involved in the murder, said sources. The NYPD initially published photos of three young men in connection with the fatal shooting.

The investigators initially believed that the shootout came from a spit outside of a post -area, said sources at the time.

A black limousine drove to the event location, where someone in the inner words exchanged the victim before opening the fire.

Juan, who was taken to a local hospital to succumb to his injuries, completed the Bronx Leadership Academy High School last summer and, according to his family, planned to join the navy.

“I want justice for my son,” said the mother of the murdered teenager, Anayeli Pena, the post in Spanish Tuesday.

“You didn't kill a dog, you killed a son with a future with a brilliant future. I don't want his death to be impossible. “

“Justice is the only thing I can ask for,” she added. “What else can I ask for? I want you to pay for what you have done to my son. You didn't kill a dog. They killed a boy full of life. They killed him and they killed me alive. “

Pena had just completed the high school last May and wanted to join the Navy, said his family. James Keivom

Juan had two sisters and a brother and lived at home with his mother.

He was not a troublemaker and, according to his aunt Shery Olivo, 35, had no enemies, a Dominican author.

Olivo remembered the moment when her nephew visited her just three days before his tragic death.

She remembered that her nephew told her: “Tia, I'm good, I'm going to the navy, I'm happy. I just took an exam. ”

Olivo said she said to him: “This is the best you could do, and I'm proud of you and I know that you will be a great soldier and a hero.”
