Migrant teen charged in Times Square shooting ‘needs to pay,’ his aunt says

The 15-year-old Venezuelan migrant who allegedly shot a tourist then turned his gun on NYPD officers in Times Square “needs to pay,” his aunt told The Post.

“He needs to pay for it. It was an irremediable error, and whatever the judge decides is what he needs to do …There’s nothing more to do in hindsight,” Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa’s maternal aunt said.

The woman, also a Venezuelan migrant who came to the Big Apple 10 months ago, said the family was “shocked” when they learned from cops he allegedly tried to rob JD Sports on West 42nd St. — then blasted a Brazilian tourist and squeezed off two rounds at pursuing cops on Feb. 8.
