THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) -- A community rally in the Bronx to demand changes to the criminal justice system after a 14-year-old boy was randomly stabbed to death while walking to school.

Police say without warning on Friday, 29-year-old Waldo Mejia stabbed Caleb Rios in the chest as he was on East 138th Street in the Bronx.  

According to records from the Bronx District Attorney's Office, Mejia has been charged at least five times in 10 years: Criminal Possession of a Weapon (Knife) in January 2015; Trespass and Unlawful Possession of a Knife in December 2016; Criminal Possession of a Weapon (Gun) in May of 2017; Arson and Burglary in April of 2019; and Criminal Mischief and Harassment in November of 2024.

Police say Mejia is also the suspect who randomly stabbed a man at the East 138th Street Station in the Bronx on Jan. 5th - just five days before Rios' murder.

The rally on Monday was organized by the Bronx Youth Empowerment Group, where Caleb Rios was a member last year. The leader of the group, Andy King spoke about the current state laws that determine bail eligibility and said, "Kids are being killed by crazy people, on the street! No more can we tolerate this, and if you're an elected official, shame on you for not standing up and doing something different."

Three of Rios' friends, who are 14 years old, also spoke at the rally about the loss of their friend. Tahjae Griffiths said, "he would just bring a smile to your face every time you would see him. He was smart."

Xavier Lennox said, "Caleb was a very jolly individual, I remember days when we would go to this park right here, and play football, all four of us."

Jeremiah Watt said, "Caleb doesn't deserve this, the person who did this should be locked up forever, that's my own personal feelings.

Mejia was held without bail after his arraignment on a Murder charge. During the proceeding, Mejia yelled out that he was "with Satan".

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's losing streak continued on Wednesday.

Hours after Republicans in Wisconsin lost a state Supreme Court race in Wisconsin where Musk spent tens of millions of dollars of his own money, shares of his flagship electric car company fell upon news that it had badly missed Wall Street estimates for the number of vehicles it had delivered in the first quarter of 2025.

As reported by Market Watch, Tesla revealed that "it delivered more than 336,000 vehicles during the first quarter, down from 387,000 deliveries a year ago."

To put this number into context, Market Watch notes that it "was well below the average analyst estimate compiled by FactSet of 404,000 vehicles" and it "was also lower than the 'whisper' number, or what Wall Street was quietly expecting, with even the most bullish analyst projecting a number in the 360,000 range."

Although Tesla blamed the disappointing deliveries on what Market Watch describes as "the changeover to refreshed Model Y production lines" that "led to several weeks of lost production," it's also a reality that the company has been the target of a concerted boycott campaign led by progressive groups to protest Musk's role as the head of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

Sales of Tesla in Europe have fallen off a cliff in recent months, as car buyers on that continent have revolted against Musk's support for far-right political parties such as Germany's Alternative für Deutschland.
