Seven teenagers accused in the fatal stabbing of an Ecuadorean immigrant are due back in court on Long Island.

The teenagers were expected to appear at a hearing Friday afternoon at Suffolk County First District Court in Central Islip.

Meanwhile, Ecuadorean officials are calling for charges against one of the teenagers accused of fatally stabbing Marcelo Lucero to be upgraded to second-degree murder.

Jorge Lopez, Ecuador's consul general in Queens, calls the charges against the 17-year-old teen "very weak." The teen has been arrested and charged with manslaughter as a hate crime.

The consul-general is also investigating whether civil rights charges can be brought against the teenager.
