Rihanna and Cardi B are among many who have paid tribute to a 15-year-old teen who was murdered in the Bronx, New York, last week. <\/p>\n

Lesandro "Junior" Guzman-Feliz was fatally attacked with a machete by gang members in an apparent case of mistaken identity.<\/p>\n

Several people have offered their condolences online using the hashtag #JusticeForJunior, including Rihanna.<\/p>\n

Cardi B, who's from the Bronx, donated $8000 (\u00a36,000) to the victim's family.<\/p>\n

"These Bronx streets are ruthless," the rapper wrote on Instagram after uploading a picture of Lesandro and his mother, Leandra Feliz, in hospital.<\/p>\n

"People be like 'call the police! call the police' - but for what? The operators be asking you questions for like four minutes on the phone with an attitude and the cops come mad late," she added.<\/p>\n

Cardi later uploaded a video of Leandra thanking her for the donation, and called for others to visit Lesandro's GoFundMe page.<\/p>\n

Lesandro's GoFundMe account was set up by his brother-in-law with a goal to raise $15,000 (\u00a311,000).<\/p>\n

In just three days, over 6,000 people have donated to the account and raised almost $150,000 (\u00a3110,000).<\/p>\n

Five gang members have reportedly been arrested in connection with Lesandro's murder.<\/p>\n

CCTV footage of the incident showed Lesandro being dragged from a shop and stabbed before bleeding to death.<\/p>\n

The attackers apparently mistook him for a man in a sex tape that was posted online. The video also featured a relative of one of the gang members.<\/p>\n

"The stabbing murder of this young man is among the most brutal crimes I've seen in my 36-year career," tweeted Chief Terence Monahan of the New York Police Department.<\/p>\n

In a separate tweet yesterday, he confirmed that this is "still an active investigation". <\/p>\n
