Two jealous ex-pals of a 24-year-old Bronx man used a GPS tracker to stalk him after he posted a picture of his flashy diamond jewelry — then robbed and fatally shot him in front of his mom, authorities said. Welfy Espinal, 25, and Lenyn Toribio, 27, allegedly murdered 24-year-old Jeremy Ortega outside of his family’s Bronx apartment on April 13, 2025. Ortega’s mother, Yokasta, told the New York Daily News that she begged the suspects not to kill him.
