The two gangbangers accused of fatally gunning down an innocent bystander Bronx teen — whose killing was highlighted by Mayor Bloomberg as a case in point for using stop and frisk — were ordered held without bail today.
Raul Pachecho, 21, and Eric Landron, 23, had been extradited Monday from Rhode Island, where they fled after allegedly killing 17-year-old Alphonza Byrant as he stood with some friends on a Foxhurst street on April 21.
The duo are allegedly members of the Latin Kings gang.
Prosecutor Teresa Gottleib told Bronx Supreme Court Judge Harold Adler that Pacheho, "in an effort to send a message from the Latin Kings to the streets, shot into a crowd" that day.
Adler remanded Pachecho and Landron, even after Landron's lawyer argued that he was not a Latin King and claimed he was merely innocently standing among the crowd when Bryant was shot.
Bloomberg in a passionate speech had cited Bryant's death an example of why it was important that the NYPD should be allowed to continue its controversial stop-and-frisk program.
That program is being challenged in an ongoing federal civil rights trial.
