Juan Amaya-Ramirez was just 20 in 2018 when he and others beat, stabbed and choked 17-year-old Andy Peralta in Kissena Park in Flushing, mistakenly thinking he was in a rival gang and that killing him would earn them a spot MS-13’s ranks.
The killer, known by the sinister nickname “Cadaver,” then took a selfie flashing MS-13 gang signs over Peralta’s mangled and lifeless body and frequently bragged about the murder afterwards, prosecutors said.
Judge Lashann DeArcy Hall blasted Amaya-Ramirez’s lawyer at Tuesday’s sentencing hearing in Brooklyn for attempting to downplay his client’s involvement in the brutal murder, which he pleaded guilty to last year.
