NBA star Carmelo Anthony and wife La La were just two of the thousands of mourners who paid tribute to the slain Bronx teen who was killed after gang members mistakenly took revenge out on the wrong person.

The Anthonys spoke to the parents of 15-year-old Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, but there’s no word on what they said or possibly did for the grieving family, reports the NY Daily News. Earlier this week, rap star Cardi B who hails from the Bronx, donated $8,000 to the family’s GoFundMe and criticized police for their slow response to the violent attack.
