Cambria Heights, Queens, NY — The Southeast Queens community is in mourning following the tragic death of 13-year-old Sanjay Samuel, who was fatally shot in the head outside a Dunkin’ Donuts in Cambria Heights while on his way to school.
Sanjay was rushed to Cohen Children’s Medical Center, where doctors declared him brain-dead. His family later confirmed his passing, describing him as a joyful and loving child. In the midst of their grief, his family has announced plans to donate his organs, ensuring his legacy brings life and hope to others.
The NYPD has released surveillance images of a suspect, believed to be a 16-year-old student, wearing a black hoodie, black pants, white sneakers, and carrying a “JAWS” logo backpack. Authorities believe the killing may be gang-related and urged the suspect to surrender. Reportedly the suspect has been arrested according to the NYPD. His name has not been released yet probably because he is a minor.
