3 Cruely Slain Over $130 - Boy Clings To Life With Hole In His Head - The Story Of Lena's Restaurant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- On March 9th of 1993, the Bedford Park section of the Bronx would be left shaken when three innocent lives were taken without hesitation in a botched robbery. The price of those three lives? $130. The tragedy would leave the community reeling for years to come, but this story isn't just about the actions of two monsters. It's about survival in more ways than one. May the three innocent people who lost their lives always rest in peace. My condolences go out to the families and everyone else affected. You aren't forgotten.
Let me say as someone not from NY your footage and archived images make me feel like im there and experiencing the news of that time.
Thank you for that!
Same! I'm a Californian born and raised (I've never been to NYC), as well as a biracial spanish and native woman, so I really love and appreciate that aspect of Jose's documentaries ❤❤
Yes, the way he presents NYC at that time is correct. That's EXACTLY how it was! He's amazing!
Agree 💯
Facts unreal work bro
That Lena's is still open is the strongest statement of strength I've heard in a long time. Thank you for bringing awareness to this crime & to the ppl who refused to give up; neither should be forgotten.
I’m almost 95% positive I ate at that counter in 2002. If that was the place, the food was absolutely incredible! There were only like 6 seats, if memory serves…and the place was busy!
Amen ❤
Nice to hear that this restaurant is still open…absolutely beautiful 👏👏👏
Absolutley 💜
RIP to those who lost their lives.
~ rest in paradise ~ 😔 🕯
We should all bring Lena’s some business, and give this video credit 💪🏻
It is still a Spanish restaurant! I eat there at least twice a week. Bussin!
Agreed, the food is still good.
Food is great, their food tastes the same as I first tasted it in 1986. Staff is great and owners are just as good. Genaro the owner died not too long ago 😢

Who rob a restaurant who don’t even charge people
Seriously. Straight scumbags.
Feinds‼️thats who, only a fucking junky would rob a restaurant that provides free food and doesn't make much money and not once but four times be fcking fr they knew after the first few times that the restaurant didn't make much through out the day‼️ meaning they robbed them knowing they only had 1-2 hundred dollars in the register. Probably why they never found the suspects, the cops are looking for a group of young robbers when they should be looking for someone with a fckin Pookie pipe💯
evil people who don't live in the area are capable of doing that
Complete Idiots Who Don't Have The Manhood To Work For Their Money & Have No Respect For Those Who Do
Uneducated Dickheads
Evil Intentions , great video you deserve more subscribers
I've been patiently waiting for this story and can't wait to watch. I grew up around the corner and this happened when I was a kid. The owner just recently passed within the last month or two. Great spot with great food and with the same servers from way back then. I believe they also owned a meat market we had many many years ago right about where that Pique 86 restaurant is now . It was also called Lena's . They closed closer to 10 pm ever since the incident but I'm sure it never affected their business . The servers are the same for as long as I could remember and the food has always been wonderful. Thank you for this story.
Thanks for the update. RIP to the owner. I hope that your neighbourhood is much better and safer. I get it, have lived in similar circumstances. 🇿🇦
At this SPECIFIC date I was serving a 90-day skid bid in Westchester County Jail near White Plains NY.I came home in Early April.Basically 3 weeks after this incident. So although I couldn't have been in the area for this particular incident?I went too go look for food over there for a 9 month period on the REGULAR with only a 2 month break bcs of a minor jail sentence.many time nd I easily could have been in that restaurant looking for food at closing time for many of the other times the restaurant got robbed.He says in the story that the place was robbed at least four to five times that year.. my lady at the time you used to take the train nd bus all the way to Westchester county jail to come visit me..I used too sleep at her house at LEAST 2 times a week from November 92 till about August of 93.. she lived on the last building on Marion right before Bedford Park boulevard.. and mostly I will go get something to eat when I was hungry on Bedford Park boulevard any one of those delis or little pizza shops in between Marion and Webster.. mostly.. but every once in awhile I would take the little trip the little three block trip up the street to 198.. from Marion.Bcs they had Delis and food spots up there too.. but I was also aware of the risk of going there at certain times because there was a lot more action on 198 than there was on that little block where I was even though it was not far away but it was very quiet over there..Small World.I might have walked right by you back in 1993 but I wouldn't have noticed you and you wouldn't have noticed me I was already 21 years old in 1993 and you were just a kid..But luckily all the times I went to get food and late at night it was too many times nothing ever happened to me.. rest in peace and condolences to the families of the ones lost.. and senselessly to the people who weren't even resisting didn't make sense.Terrible.
Love the way you present your cases...the history behind every case... We get to learn a bit of history and the dinamic of the time. Thank you! I really look forward to your next video. Greetings from Romania!
Me too. I'm from the southern part of the US and it's crazy at the difference in the crime. We aren't crime free by any means but especially for the time that kind of violence was almost unbelievable. I said no way would I live in NY. Or any of the other big cities. Detroit scares me to think about it. It's really incredible what people will do to one another. And for what? Money that will be gone quickly and it doesn't just reappear. It's just money, and people will destroy entire families by there stupid selfish actions. A job doesn't seem to be in their vocabulary. And when your record doesn't allow anyone to want to hire you that's your fault. No excuse for killing innocent people. You just go from a loser to a murdering loser.
I agree ! He really sets himself apart, I was shocked when I first found him that he had maybe 1,000 subs or something, but he grew so quickly!
Btw it is spelled “dynamic” with a Y, not an I
You said you’re from Romania so I’m just trying to help you with English, plz don’t take it the wrong way!
@@sophritohIt was probably an error!!!!!!!
@career5690 lol like really? We are in English class tf! It may have been a spell check error, Americans make worse errors everyday smh him being in Romania means what he in Romania but may not even be Romanian 🙄
The dramatic instrumental music you choose for your stories has evolved immensely, Jose. It makes me feel the weight of the tragedy but also keeps me engaged.
I really hope the surviving families and those who are friends of these families truly realize what they have in a storyteller and justice-seeker like you.
-absolutely ... !-
I feel the same 🤗
I always have to tell you thank you for never letting the victims be forgotten
What kind of trash can do something like this to innocent people especially a 14 year old child?
I have a 14 year old and my heart is breaking listening to this. No child deserves this
I’m literally bawling my eyes out. How can people be so evil
R-I-P to all the victims 🙏🏿🕊️💔
And strength to the 14 year old boy and all involved.
I appropriate the fact that you always tell us about the neighbourhood, show pictures from back then and try to give us the atmosphere. 💪🏿😊
Thank you for bringing up a lot of Hispanic stories to light, not a lot of channels do that. Plus the way you are so respectful and kind in how you speak is also very important! Thank you!
Imagine knowing you slaughtered 3 people for $130. No amount is worth peoples lives, but $130 is just insulting to the families of the victims. It just shows what true lowlifes the murderers are. Nice of the news guy to tell the hospital he was in. 🙄
The gunshot the 14 yo received was insane how it went in and basically came right back out. Like a ricochet shot. The bullet hit at an angle that deflected it off his skull. God said, "Not him, not TODAY!" and before anyone throws in their 2 cents worth. Yes,I truly believe that's what happened. It's not up for debate. If whoever doesn't agree, that's on you. I don't care what anyone thinks. In the least.
Ikr 😞 sick 🤢 disgusting 🤮
I 💯 agree!!! The Good Lord stepped in and saved that boys life!!!
Bums will be bums. That fact alone made me itch and so angry. I don’t think I’ll ever understand that level of hunger and disregard for human life.
So true man
Amen.🙏🏼🕊️
Your channel is one of the best true crime channels. The respect you show to the victims is heartfelt. Keep up the great work!
A lot of true crime channels are very samey, so I appreciate anything different. You often make videos about cases I haven't heard about before and you present them in a really cool way.
Keep up the good work, mate👍
I enjoy the history lessons you give with each story. It breaks my heart that the lessons come with such evil. Thank you for your compassion for the victims of your stories. Love from Maryland.
My neighborhood my block. I remembered this day and was super saddened. We ate here late at night as it was delicious food and one of the restaurants that stayed open a little later than others on 198. Usually we would go here instead of walking over to the 24 hr diners on Bedford Park. My boyfriend and I were shocked because the first thing we said was that could have been us because we always caught them right before they closed. Very polite people always had smiles on their faces and put love into their food and establishment. May God rest their souls.
Your channel really does give the feeling like you actually care about the people in the stories you tell. I'm from the West Coast but thank you for caring about the people in your community so much🙏
Same! I love it! ❤
I’m a New Yorker, born & raised, living now in the Southwest. I don’t get back to the city often, but when I do I’m gonna go to Lena’s, we love Mexican food & they truly deserve my family’s business. RIP to the souls lost & my heart goes out to all affected.
Very tragic. 3 people lost their lives for $130. RIP to the victims. Thank you for telling the story
Beautiful job bringing this story to us. Your voice brings life to this story. The kind of life that makes others know what happened on that dreadful night in the little hole in the wall called Lenas. 😢
Thank you!!
Another fantastic job Jose . The fact this little place is still open today is testament to the people who own it, work in it and eat from there .
130 $ for three lives you are one silly mf word 🙏.
$65 a piece 🤦🏿♀️ very sad!!!
2... There Were 2 Idiots
Ty so much for sharing this story with such class as always ! Being a Bronx girl at 60 makes me proud of where I came from n this tragedy was horrific I remember it like yesterday n I have never forgotten these amazing souls who lost their lives ! I was born on 182nd n Jerome & Davidson ave my parents got divorced in 1980we moved cross town to Pelham pkwy where the shoe store massacre was n my mom had just got home from shopping and missed that by minutes n u also covered that case amazingly! My papi moved 1982 to Bedford park on the concourse of Lena’s needless to say when thy opened we always grabbed food to go back to the house when we had wkends with our papi ! After this tragedy he was so afraid for us to come over to see him n he wld come to Pelham pkwy to see me n my twin sista ! 1989 I got married 1991 had my son 1995 had my daughter by 2000 my parents wanted me n my husband to move out of the Bronx and a lil north up the Hudson valley so we did ! So when I do go down to Da Bronx to visit friends n whatever family is left n in memory of my papi n the beautiful souls that lost there lives I still go to Lena’s n bring Bronx authentic food n people to the Hudson valley ! FYI I hate when thy say a “ hole in the wall “ those are the best places like a home cooked meal ! If you know u know “IYKYK” ty again n rip to these amazing angels never forgotten 🙏🙏🙏
I'm from the UK, and the closest I've ever got to New York was seeing the skyline as a connecting flight touched down at JFK... that skyline made my heart leap, and I dream of visiting properly. Your videos bring the city to life - the good and bad - and that's real. Thank you for showing the world your amazing community, the heart and soul of such an amazing city ❤
Don't ever go to new York..it's not what u see on social media,, everyday ppl and tourists get rob, on street and in there hotel room,,new York is a dirty place were they treat u like crap,new yokes think there the best but there not,u can meet a friend n hang out ,to then later get killed by that person..the rotten apple full of worms.. 😂😂😂
YOU GO, LENA’S!! KEEP IT UP!! I LOVE THAT SPIRIT AND AM SO SORRY TO THOSE FAMILIES THAT LOST A LOVED ONE!! If I lived out there, I would definitely support your business!! People, give them a visit, if you live there! Damn SCUM, could’ve ruined this family’s dream and hard work, but they didn’t, because Lena’s obviously has more heart than they could ever hope for!! We need to hear about more stories like this, so we can help support businesses like this.
I’m a huge fan of your channel but this one was so intimate, with zero hesitation I will say this was my favorite episode so far ❤
Hello 😊.. wasn't expecting a video today, thank you. Prayers for the families🙏🙏😞❤️
What a powerful story.
Sad as it is, you tell about the courage they had and the strength to carry on.
Thank you.
&& you delivered again I love the fact that you share sympathize and acknowledge the truth on these dark stories 😔
My heart is just broken for everything these wonderful people have endured. Your coverage, as always, is so reverent and respectful. I hope everyone living in that area that watch your show will make a point of eating there as often as possible so everyone associated with that restaurant will thrive beyond measure!! What a tribute would that be❤
Why would the news reporter call Lena’s a whole in a wall .. The disrespect was at an all time high. Innocent people lost their life. Smh 🤦🏽♀️
They weren't being disrespectful. Thats what we would call a small bar or eatery back in the day. Even other small businesses. Some still use the phrase. Too small to be a restaurant so its a little hole in the wall. Like the $1 Pizza spot in Times Square is a little hole in the wall.
Exactly. Those people worked hard for that store. How dare he.
It's literally what ghat style of eatery is called in the industry. We have heaps of them in my country.
I was looking for this comment. I Can't believe he said that. Smdh
How dare he say that.
Ran quickly to your video. Although I'm a Chicagoan I love your crimes stories involving NYC.
Same, as a Kentuckian. I know several New Yorkers.
as a fellow chicagoan i love these nyc stories too! We need a chicago true crime channel .
I’m like a Bostonian and watch his videos.
I'm from NY. I like this channel and drillmatic channel. Drillmatic does Chicago crime stories.
Rest in peace to the ones lost in this video, and respect and prayers in this family.
But on another note there are really some bumass people out there who ready to end other lives for NOTHINGGGG BRO. I hate bums fr. I pray that everyone reading this, this NEVER EVER happens to you or anyone you love. I pray u never been have to cross paths with people like that🙏🏾
Thank you for shedding light on the victims and telling this story. How sad for $130 3 lives were taken away . May they ,, RIP
Love your videos. This one hits home. One of the young men who lost his life that day was a very dear friend of mine. ( like a brother). He was my brother's best friend
I'm very sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for the kind words, I truly appreciate that.
Love the channel bro.!! Nyc finest.! Keep up the good work.!
Thank you for these stories. Most of these stories happened before I was born or when I was young. I've lived in the Bronx my whole life, in some of the places you did stories on and I appreciate the knowledge of the past. I didn't know any of this stuff happened.
These stories should definitely be told!!💕
Well presented! Vivid images. May the victims rest peacefully 🕊. Healing to the survivor(s).
Your videos have so much class..keep up the good content. Rip to the victims.
Wow, story told with such empathy & heartfelt words. An amazing storyteller & and credit to RUclips. Well done Jose, wishing you all the best & success you deserve, from the UK xx
Best narrator on RUclips. Love the way you hold down our city! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I just want to say that you do excellent work and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into shedding light on these stories. Much love to you brother from chicago.
This story as horrible the crime gives me hope and inspiration. I pray that Lena’s survives 100 years and more and that that strong young man who survived that horrific nightmare lives a long loving life. I was thinking of visiting New York and now I know where to go for amazing food and meet amazing people.
They are indeed Stories that need to be told.This is by far one of the best channels on Tube.God Bless🙏
Oh my that kid was very lucky to survive that incident 🙏 and was vital to the investigation to catch who was held responsible for this god bless that boy and R.I.P. to those who didn't make it.
A tragedy indeed😮rest in paradise to the three men that lost their lives😇🙏🏽😇🌹🌹🌹
Evil Intention always adds a little something extra from that time like the massive blizzard that was approaching New York City.. That is one of the many reasons why I love this channel. The tenderness he shows to the v i c t i m s or the family of the v i c t i m! Keep up the great work Mr Ortiz!
Another great video ♥️ although this channel brings me more sadness than others, because I am from NYC, it always bring me a memory of the year certain stories are from, if I was born at the time, as soon as it mentioned March of 1993 and snow storm, I thought of my moms accident in that snow storm. But wow! my condolences to all the families of the victims 😢
Another great vid, thanks! I've bookmarked Lena's for my next trip to NY! 🎉❤
You do Excellent Work very detailed.
Great work as always!! Love the way you tell stories❤
Jose, where've you been!? I miss your videos when you don't upload. you cover the cases that we've never seen before. RIP to three that lost their lives that terrible day. I also hope the teen was able to move forward with his life.
Edit: keep doing what you’re doing. I love that you give the background and the history of the people/places in your story. It really keeps us engaged, thank you Jose and whoever else is involved in bringing these stories to us.
Thank you for your enlightening to us outside of NY about these stories. I enjoy your channel!
THank you for what you do. You give so much respect and empathy. I love the old clips.
I love the way you tell your stories. Really setting the situation and scene to help us visualise what it was actually like.
Also. Props to the Power Trip shirt! 🙌🏻
I found this channel some time around last week. I have already watched half of the videos!! I really love how your videos are made. They’re straight to the point and the right length. I also like how you have given the backgrounds on certain places before speaking on the case. You’ve become my favorite true crime channel ever! ❤
Appreciate All That You Do
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
It took me 3-4 years with NO FELONIES to get my background check cleared!! I kept attempting like twice a year and finally got a clearance smh
I have never clicked so fast, always looking for to your videos, Thank you ❤️
Only your videos give me chills bruh 🤦🏾♂️💪🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for a new video, your one of best on here.
I truly appreciate the kind words!
It saddens me to see all these stories and the police dont care. Thank you for keeping us aware of whats happened and wrong. Thank you very much.
New york is something else. That Bronx and bodega Thank you so much.
THIS CASE IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY THE D. PENALTY IS A MUST IN EVERY SINGLE STATE.
Sometimes it’s so hard to live in this world. Even when you don’t suffer these things, when you aren’t forced to live through them, it’s so hard to see, and to learn about these things. There’s too much pain. We aren’t meant for this.
This was an amazing story. Thank you for sharing the heart of a family and so much more. I live in Manhattan next week I plan to drop by Lenas for some of that great food you talked about made with so much more than blood sweat and tears ❣️ made with love ❤️. You have a great channel and you would be very surprised at the people who do care. God bless
Love what you do! Im from east new york and its scary knowing these things happened in our neighborhoods! I would love too see in the future you maybe expand too other inner city stories like Philly, chicago, and cali just some examples thank you again for your wonderful story telling.
You do such quality work. Love your videos keep it up brother
Thank you!
Im Mexican, my father is from Guerrero. Thank you for taking you time to do research. ❤
I’m from mosholu parkway a train stop away!! Thank you for upload!
Another excellent doc! As always, your compassion shines through the production.
Thank you!!
God bless you and your amazing work we appreciate you ❤
Thank you!
Senseless. May the victims rest in peace..
Your coverage of the stories is amazing. I like your style and calmness in your storytelling. And your sympathy to the victims is really notable. Thanks for your hard work in all of the cases you cover. 🙏
I don't know why I've never been to new York nor the Bronx but this hit hard thank you for the upload and my condolences to the friends and family of those lost and to the 1 that survived his strength is inspiring
Thank you for that! Appreciate you watching!
@@EvilIntentions Thank YOU
Just want to say I am glad that you brought this intro back. The music is creepy as hell and fits with the horrifying stories that you share. If it aint broke then don’t touch it. I switched up that saying just a bit. Keep up the good work sharing these stories. May we never forget the victims or their families. ❤
All the way from Arkansas I love your stories!!!!!
Thank you! Love to Arkansas!
Absolute chills on the wrap up ... beautiful way to remember the victims and honor their memory and the perseverance of the family who pushes forward like we all do. Just amazing. 🖤🖤
Ty for sharing. ❤ RIP to those who lost their lives... What an ending though, what a strong people they are 🫡💪💕
Very strong people. Inspiring to make it through all of this and be here standing tall.
God bless you bro thank you for keeping the names of those who lost their lives in the new york streets alive. I hope the cops got it right with that conviction because it seems odd that he didn’t tell on the second Killer.
I'm so sorry about the killings of the 3 victims at Lena's. Oh my goodness 😢
This made me cry, this is so senseless
RIP 🌹 🙏❤
Loved and Not Forgotten
Why kill somebody for $130? Smh.
Straight bum behavior
I have to much ptsd and anxiety after watching your vids. Brings back horrible memories of that time for me. I can vividly recall every case you have highlighted. I have walked every block you show. I have frequented many of those shops in the 80s and 90s. Yeah its rough for me. The 80s was no joke!!!!!
Everyone go support Lena's!😢😢😢😢😢
It's sad to know that people lost their Iives for nothing.
A whole in the wall wtf. No respect for hard working people. I'm disgusted and my people shame me every day. They still disgust me in 2024.
$32.50 each, which made me cry.
You did it again amazing job on this story, it was as if I was seeing this happen right before my eyes, My condolences 💐 to all the families affected by this tragic case, May they all RIH ❤🙏🏽😔
so nostalgic seeing a young bill evans and tim fleischer! i’ve apparently been watching channel 7 news for decades.
I cannot imagine the amount of work and dedication it takes to move from another country and then work for like, a decade saving every penny you could toward a goal. Like I know for facts that I couldn’t do it. I don’t have that type of determination that they did. I am so impressed by that, truly.
These stories are always super sad ! They came here for a better life and were running an honest business and did absolutely nothing wrong!! And to have these innocent ppl murdered for $130!?!? Come on now omg
Thank you so much for this video God bless you nd continue doing what you do for lives that are no longer here nd forgotten through your videos they are not forgotten thank you so much
I remember that Blizzard 🥶 I was 13yrs old
This was so senseless and pure evil 3 young men killed and a 14yr old boy wounded for life over $130🤬❗ My Deepest Condolences Go Out To The Families and Friends🙏🏽💜🕊🕊🕊
Glad to see your uploads thanks for shareing👍🏻
