Police say that the boy was standing on the corner of East 219th Street and White Plains Road in Williamsbridge Monday just before 6 p.m. when he was approached by three Hispanic men.
They apparently got into an argument and one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the boy twice in the chest.
He was taken to Jacobi Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
The suspects ran away, and remain on the loose.
