Ten days after Charlie Hernandez was fatally shot outside 110 Forsyth Street, cops arrested prime suspect Joshua Nunez. The 21-year-old Brooklynite is charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

It was recently revealed that this violence was part of a cross-Bowery turf war between two groups of locals. The murder was the ultimate outcome of a feud which started in January of this year.

Nunez reportedly boasts a number of priors including reckless endangerment, drug-impaired driving, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.

    Joshua Nunez SURRENDERED! like a real man he was never hiding nor was he on the run. His previous record of past arrest shouldn’t matter. He has never been arrested for carrying a weapon or harming another individual. Joshua Nunez has a good heart he is a caring man and a wonderful father. WE WILL PROVE HIS INNOCENCE! GOD IS GOOD ALLLLL THE TIME. ily!

  • The truth!

    He SURRENDERED because because he shot and killed someone. He’s a murderer. He’s a low life robber who can’t fight w his hand but instead chooses to carry a weapon! God is good and Joshua will get what he deserves!! Lets hope his child doesn’t grow up to be a poor example of a person like him.

    • oh well

      And what does that make cha? a low life drug dealer that was looking for problems who couldn’t fight one on one had to come to the shop with his goons and brothers, he got what he deserved. i hope his three kids don’t turn out to be drug dealers like him.

      • The truth!

        Yeah I’m sure u font hope that. You just praying now that Cha is off the block you will have big enough balls to go be a drug dealer your self. It’s funny how everyone is bad mouthing cha now but when he was alive none of you guys dare say shit. Funny how everyone gets so brave and vocal now

        • oh well

          cha kissed my ass every chance he got. he was a nobody that thought he was a somebody. get another connect and stop crying. i’m sure one of his brothers will serve you…

    • THE REAL TRUTH

      To even bring up Joshua’s kid in a neg way is disgusting of you. unfortunately charlies children wont have a father figure so most likely they will turn to drugs and violence to fill up the empty void but joshua nunez SR! will not be serving much time so he will be there by his child’s side to raise him like a man and teach him right from wrong. He will be able to tell his son about his mistakes and guide him to always do better. i pray charlies chlidren don’t ever find out the scum bag father they had who chose to get killed instead of reading them a bed time story and i pray joshuas child doesn’t get taunted by you digusting haters!

      • The truth!

        The only thing discusting is your reply. You are obviously a close friend of josh, and a childish ignorate fool. My comment is based on common sense one person shoots another is considered murder Point Blank!! Your reply is based on feelings, sorry ur hurt that a person in ur circle couldn’t deal with the problems he bought to himself n killed someone. But take a deep breath get over it and try ur best to grow up cause let me let you in on a little secret. The world us bigger then this, bigger the low life losers robbing fighting and killing one another. Bigger then the little LES streets you have grown up on. If you care so much about josh kid why dont you go raise it, matter fact you probably BM cuz right now you sounding like a straight bitch!

        • oh well

          you sound real stupid defending a drug dealer from your block not mine he wouldn’t survive on mine. the straight bitch here is you. the problem is that you can’t get over the fact that cha though he was the man, your image of the drug dealer is shattered and you can’t handle it then you attack he next mans kid i hope your kids never figure out what a real punk their dad is. the truth of the matter is that cha went looking for a problem and he found it. fuck all yall niggas from spring. and bitches cause you sound like you might be one. and theirs one thing you will never have to worry about little nunez got mad people in his life their will never be a void asshole…not like cha’s kids they got nothing but number runners and stash house to look foward too. don’t make me say the real truth about the fernandez family stash house and all.

          • The truth!

            Lmao at you. You sound real stupid defending and getting angry over a Internet blog. I’ll let u be loser, point is your boy locked up now probably being the jail bitch! Hahahahaha

          • oh well

            no the point is your boy is DOA. mine is still alive and roughing it out. and you still on his dick….

        • THE REAL TRUTH

          IM A CHILDISH IGNORANT FOOL BUT YOUR THE ONE WHO BROUGHT UP A 3 YEAR OLD CHILD. IM NOT HURT AT ALL IM ACTUALLY SORRY THAT A PERSON IN YOUR CIRCLE DECIDED TO GO ATTEMPT MURDER AND SHIT BACKFIRED ON HIM N HE’S DEAD. WHAT DOES THE WORLD BEING BIG HAVE TO DO WITH THIS CONVERSATION HOW ABOUT YOU LEARN HOW TO SPEAK OR SHUT THE FUCK UP. YOU SHOULD LEARN HOW TO DEFEND YOUR PEOPLE WITHOUT MAKING YOURSELF SOUND SO CLOSED MINDED AND IGNORANT. EDUCATE YOURSELF AND YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO ANALYZE THE SITUATION IN BOTH WAYS BUT OF COURSE YOUR ONLY UPSET BEAUSE UR BOY LOST HIS BATTLE. SUCKS TO BE YOU! BY THE WAY I AM NOT FROM THE LES NOR AM I A BITCH IM A GROWN ASS MAN AND ILL PUT MY BALLS IN YOUR MOUTH AND I DONT NEED TO RAISE HIS KID HE WILL DO IT HIMSELF BECAUSE HE WON’T BE IN TOO LONG. STUPID BITCH!

  • jojo

    I have never wished anyone bad but after viewing the pain and sadness Mr Fernandez family and friends have endured, I pray Joshua serves life in prison

    • oh well

      cha should have never come to forsyth with six dudes looking for problems and the fernandez family would not be in pain right now. this is all cha’s doing he should have minded his business…sorry baks won’t be serving life…

    • guest

      joshua was nearly killed himself! don’t you think cha should have been punished for trying to kill him or is joshua the only one who did wrong? i mean realistically joshuas family are also sad there is sadness on both ends! i bet if he would have been killed instead you wouldnt have wished charlie life in prison.

  • Bubbles

            Lmaoooo boost mobile den cha had u on a boost so sadd give a couple more days u have one of those government phones

  • il professore

    People need to know the facts in this case… And before anything ill say that I believe the family will not allow the DA to offer any plea to this coward, so 25 to life sounds about right to me… Facts are that this person and others with him had gone over on many occasions with weapons and beat up and robbed a 17 year old kid, and just the day or 2 before went to the other neighborhood and smashed a kids head that doesn’t fight or look for problems with a bottle wide open and sent him to the hospital, and also flashed a gun on that occasion. All this will come out at trial… He was getting smacked around 1 on 1, so he went to the gun… Witnesses saw… Won’t have no gun inside where I understand others wait to “greet” him… Good luck and I truly hope the first 25 years go well inside…

    • Banes

      Im guessing you will be one of the people who will sit angry when he does not get sentenced to do 25 years. It was not a 1 on 1 JOSH WAS ALMOST KILLED.so how about you shut the fuck up because you wasn’t there. Everybody needs to stop acting like if this was a cold blooded murder. Yes it is sad that somebody died but everybody has to go someday and if it wasn’t cha it would have been josh either way they are both currently serving the destiny that god wanted them too. get over it. If anyone felt that Joshua was doing wrong and needed to be punished then they should have pressed charges not send several men to go attempt homicide on him thats why cha is dead because nobody chooses when its anyones time to go. Josh didn’t intend to kill him he was just playing cards he had never tried to kill cha but cha DID shoot at him before SO GET UR FACTS CORRECT OR STFU
