All it took was a shrug from a stranger to send accused killer Franklin Mesa over the edge, recalled a Bronx man who was allegedly attacked by the “neighborhood menace” last year.
Franklin Mesa, 19, was arraigned on a murder charge Saturday for the allegedly unprovoked killing of a beloved Norwood resident.Mesa said hi to Calderon. Since neither one knew Mesa, Diaz said he shrugged at him in confusion. The two started brawling on the sidewalk, with Diaz managing to deliver a blow to Mesa with his umbrella. Mesa then went inside his building to call for his relatives, Diaz said.
Franklin Mesa’s grandmother, Ramona Santos, defended her grandson and claimed he was visiting his mother and siblings on 180th Street when the stabbing occurred.
