QUEENS, NEW YORK - The slight 16-year-old gunman accused of killing a younger teen outside a Queens Dunkin Donuts was described in court as “diminutive” and suffering from both asthma and ADHD — but he still clearly knew the consequences of his actions, a Queens Criminal Court judge declared Saturday as he ordered the alleged triggerman held without bail.
“You admittedly had certain difficulties. But you don’t strike me as being an idiot,” Judge Eugene Bowen told the teen as his family wept openly in the gallery.
“At age 16, you can understand that certain decisions are extremely serious.”
The teen’s relatives were so grief-stricken that a court officer offered one of them a napkin to dab her red, wet eyes.
“Oh Jesus!” one whispered, aghast, when Assistant District Attorney Andres Sanchez said the teen was facing a murder charge and released new information about the cold-hearted killing.
The 16-year-old boy surrendered to cops at the 105th Precinct with his attorney Darren Fields on Friday for killing 13-year-old Sanjay Samuel. The Daily News is not releasing the teen’s name because of his age.
