Danilo's attorney alleged at a bail hearing on November 1, 2018 that Danilo is not a Trinitario and that he only knows 2 out of 15 Trinitarios. He claims his client was at home when Michael Sosa Reyes picked him up to play basketball and chill at Hunts Point. Danilo was also allegedly NOT present for the meetings at that took place at Diego Suero's home before and after the attack. Allegedly, Danilo was told by Michael Sosa Reyes that Junior had hurt Sosa's grandmother. His attorney also claims that he was trying to get Sosa to come back to the car, but immediately got back into the car, himself, once he realized something bad was happening. Danilo's attorney claims Danilo did not have any weapons on him. 

The DA alleged at the same bail hearing there is a footage of Danilo attempting to chase and grab Junior on 184th st by Saint Barnabas Hospital. DA stated Danilo got back into the white Acura when he wasn't able to grab Junior and then popped back up on surveillance near the bodega...inferring Danilo rode over to the bodega in the white Acura.

Judge Neary granted a bail package to Danilo Payamps Pacheco on November 1, 2018.
