NEW YORK CITY - The 13-year-old boy gunned down outside a Queens Dunkin’ Donuts this week was slain over a gang beef, police claimed Thursday — as they identified a fellow teenager as the suspected killer.

Cops believe the still-at-large suspect — 16-year-old Campus Magnet High School student Jaysohn Sykes — allegedly rolled up on a Razor scooter and shot young Sanjay Samuel in the head outside the coffee shop at around 8:20 a.m. on Monday, leaving him brain dead, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said.

Samuel, who attended Martin Van Buren High School, was not affiliated with a gang, his family said, despite the NYPD noting he would post on social media about the SSM, or Sex Money Murder, a subset of the Bloods.
