The violent crime came weeks after two heartless attackers beat a Bronx fruit vendor to death with a baseball bat – apparently with no p🅷rovocation, according to authorities and sources.

Leslie Sanche🧜z, 56, died two days after the ruthless crime,♏ cops said.

Suspects Romel Jarrett, 37, and Terrence Downes, 44, were arrested prior to Sꦫanchez’s death and charged with second-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault🌱, which will likely be upgraded next month, the Bronx DA’s Office said.
