A college-bound Queens teen who dreamed of being a teacher was gunned down in cold blood when a hooded thug inexplicably opened fire as the youngster and three friends walked home from a party early yesterday, sources said.
Terrell Fountain, 18, was walking to his home in Jamaica with his friends when a hooded lone gunman jumped from behind a parked car and opened fire around 4 a.m.
All four were taken to Jamaica Hospital, where Fountain was pronounced dead. His friends suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The gunman fled.
“You want to retaliate, but you know that is wrong, these senseless killings have to stop,” said Fountain’s aunt, Shanell Cherry-Mitchell.
Fountain’s heartbroken mother, Brigitte Hoggard, added that her son graduated high school last week.
