Things "Rural" People Never See

Gang Leader: Just Kill Anybody - The Latin Kings suspected of gunning down a college-bound Bronx teen last month knew they were firing at an innocent — but were ordered to shoot anyone they saw, sources said yesterday.

Raul Pacheco, 21, and Eric Landron, 23, had initially been dispatched by a gang leader on April 22 to rub out a group of rivals on Fox Street, Pacheco told cops.

But when the two thugs couldn’t find their targets, their leader insisted that they open fire anyway, even if it meant hitting a bystander.

Pacheco claims he resisted the brutal directive, but he says Landron grabbed a gun from him and fired three shots at Alphonza Bryant, 17, and his pals, according to police sources. Bryant was hit in the torso and died.


WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME: Alphonza Bryant, 17, slain in gang dispute he had no part of.
“Detectives believe that the shooting involved a gang dispute,” the NYPD said in a statement. “However, by the time the shooting occurred, the intended targets were gone from the street corner and shots were fired at a different group of youths including Alphonza Bryant, who happened to be there.”

Mayor Bloomberg cited the case last week in slamming critics of stop-and-frisk.

Bryant’s mom yesterday said she wants the killers to rot.“Life with no parole,” said Jenaii Van Doten.
