Gang beats gay man to death on Christmas morning just to steal one dollar from him

[Behind the Aegis]

A 60-year-old gay Latinx man named Juan Fresnada was beaten to death in the Bronx, New York by a gang of men who are still being sought by police. While video footage captured the attack and the faces of the attackers, it also showed that no passing drivers or pedestrians stopped to help as Fresnada as he lay dying in the busy public street.

The attack happened near 1:30 a.m. as Fresnada exited a McDonald’s fast-food restaurant with his 29-year-old partner Byron Caceres. Caceres said that a man walked up to Fresnada, repeatedly demanded money from him, and then followed them into the street before several other men began attacking the couple.

A friend of Fresnada told the press, “The guys just told them ‘Give me the money, give me the money.’ He was like ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’”

“My husband tried to defend me,” Caceres added. “The guy had his fist ready like he was ready to attack me. My husband said, ‘Don’t you get close to him.’”

1. It wouldn't be right no matter the amount. What lovely "people" they must be, these gang creeps.

I gotta wonder though, why the husband didn’t run into the McDonalds and tell them to call 911 since he didn’t have a phone.

Those precious minutes make a difference.

2. Yes, always run to people when being chased or pursued. Crime thrives out of sight. . . . nt

5. Sadly, not all that true anymore.

I can produce a number of stories where victims were in or ran to crowded places, only to be ignored or filmed. That said, I do agree it is a good choice if available.

9. I would think a business though, would call 911 if someone came in and yelled to do so.

That’s almost a reflex, or it should be.

Not sure why the guy didn’t at least try, but he may have been in shock...who knows. Awful story. I hope to god they catch the cretins that did it.

I somehow doubt that’s their first time.

11. One would hope.

Hopefully, may neither of us (or our loved ones) ever be in such a position to confirm or deny the action of a business calling 911 in a situation like this.

I would guess shock was an issue, and people react differently in situations like this. Though my husband is bigger than me, when someone started to go after him who was a bit bigger than him, I jumped the asshole, which scared the fuck out of him (I am 5'7&quot . We just never know until we are in the situation.

I, too, hope they are caught, and people continue to condemn them and not make excuses for their behavior.

6. Of course the amount wouldn't make it right, it was just that this murder was over $1.

As for the husband, I don't know what was going though his head. We all act differently in situations like that. It's easy to second guess when we aren't in the situation.

10. Yes, I agree.

Makes me sad and angry, not sure which one is uppermost.

3. Just fucking awful. I don't like how this guy is identified as gay if that has nothing to do with

it.

4. It sickens me to see

that this was a gang of young black men at this time here. They certainly must be found. What a horrific crime.

7. Should be the death penalty for those pos that murdered

8. Should be able to be caught, they have clear video of them
