Although suspects have been named and detained in this case, the outcry for justice for Lesandro "Junior" Guzman-Feliz continues. Jennifer Lopez likes to remind her fans that she is down with the people, that she is "Jenny from the block". The Bronx Native took a while to show support to the #justiceforjustin platform. People using the hashtag are aiming to bring awareness to the untimely death of the teen who was brutally killed outside of a Bodega in the Bronx last Wednesday.
A week after his passing, J.Lo posted a clip from Junior's funeral with a short caption saying, "#justiceforjunior."https://www.instagram.com/p/BkiWp_hl3pS
Cardi B showed support early on, with a heartfelt caption. https://www.instagram.com/p/BkVZNfngcrr
T.I. who is quite vocal about social justice spoke to the press candidly when asked what our communities can do to avoid these types of situations: "It starts with a dream[...]What you dream you can accomplish tomorrow will keep you from making [bad] decisions."https://www.instagram.com/p/Bkh5XiBngWU
Ebro hopped on Twitter to share some of his thoughts.https://twitter.com/_/status/1010919074296049664
Monie Love also took to Twitter in support of the movement, posting a letter addressed to the New York City Commissioner of Consumer Affairs. The text asks for the store owners to be held accountable for "standing idly" while the 15-year old was dragged out of their shop moments before being stabbed repeatedly with a machete. It emphasizes the "good moral character required by law" that could have prevented this loss of life. https://twitter.com/_/status/1012017747889475585
