Cops seek 2 men in connection with killing of Brooklyn boy

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police have released surveillance video of two men wanted in connection with the shooting of a 15-year-old boy who was killed steps away from his Brooklyn apartment Friday evening. 

The video released Sunday shows two men walking down a sidewalk. Police believe they are in their late teens or early 20s.


Cops also released an image of a car sought in connection with the case.

The NYPD continued to investigate the shooting at an apartment building near the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and East 26th Street in Flatbush-Ditmas Park.

Police say Samuel Joseph was shot in the face, neck and chest in a hallway of his building around 5:45 p.m. Friday.

He was pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital.

Sources tell 1010 WINS he may have been a bystander.

His mother was inconsolable Saturday morning, screaming "Why?" as her family tried to comfort her. 

A family friend named Paul Gerard said Samuel was a wonderful boy who had just been out getting groceries moments before he was killed. 

"A good person, very straight kid," he said, adding such a tragedy was something that "nobody can endure."
