Newly emerged video captured the heartbreaking moment a Queens teen was shot point-blank<\/a> and killed in a park \u2013 as a crowd of youngsters fled in terror.<\/p>\n

The horrifying footage, taken just feet away from the suspected gang-related shooting<\/a> shows Jaden Pierre, 15, against a metal fence at Roy Wilkins Park in St. Albans facing his attackers, seconds before being blasted in the chest.<\/p>\n

Jaden had been beaten by the crowd of kids gathered at the Nautilus Playground Thursday evening, with the attackers punching him in the head just before the gunshot rang out, the footage showed.<\/p>\n

A member of the mob gathered at the Nautilus Playground appeared to punch Jaden in the head as the group closed in and a gunshot rang out, according to the clip. <\/p>\n

Jaden can be seen crumpling to the ground, while the group of kid on hand to apparently watch and film the fight went running.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The suspect, seen above, is still on the loose since the deadly shooting. DCPI<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my God, oh my God, oh my God,\u201d the girl recording the chilling new video<\/a> wheezed as she sprinted off, with terrified screams being heard in the background.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the f\u2013k?\u201d She repeated several times, briefly turning the camera to show her face as she panted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Mayor Eric Adams previously shared another video capturing the violent incident from a different angle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In that footage, Jaden was seen being pummeled before he was shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The boy was rushed to Jamaica Hospital where he was pronounced dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
