A 15-year-old boy was arrested for the death of his friend and fellow gangbanger after the suspect’s gun went off while he was flashing it inside a Queens apartment Wednesday afternoon, police and sources said.
Jamuri Mezar, 14, was shot and killed in his Jamaica home at the Norman Towers during what law enforcement sources described as an accidental discharge.
The older teen brought a stolen 9mm gun to Mezar’s home and was showing it off when it fired, striking Mezar in the head, the sources said.
Mezar was pronounced dead on scene, police said.
His pal bolted from the apartment and left the gun next to Mezar’s body, which originally led investigators to believe the wound was self-inflicted, sources said.
Both teenagers were members of the B4L, or brothers for life, gang, sources said.
Other teens were inside the apartment at the time, the Daily News had reported.

Let me guess, it’s them again, Yogi.
Norman Towers? Sounds like Cabrini Green, Nickerson Gardens or other Section 8 projects.
No problem. It was a PSH.
PSH - Public service homicide.
Make sure to charge the little urban yoouth with theft of a fire arm, neglect discharge of a firearm, reckless endangerment by firing a weapon in doors/ the apartment building, fleeing the seen of a crime.
10 or 12 years behind bars will due.
Best to be Lear-y. "Brothers for Life" so yeah, who knows what criminals are All in the Family.
And just because the name is "Towers" doesn't mean the residents are Movin' On Up.
.....”There is no cure for stupid”.......these people with double-digit IQs simply amaze me.......they have no understanding of how handguns work....FAFO suits these morons perfectly....and it was a stolen gun, as well......ah, well...just thinning out the gene pool, I guess....
BANG! - “Whoops - Sorry, Joey…”
Happens all the time…

51 or 52 would be better
THE GUN NEVER CARES HOW OLD THE FINGER IS
Mishap? That’s rich.
“...suspect’s gun went off while he was flashing it inside a Queens apartment Wednesday afternoon, police and sources said.”
Well it’s his word against, oh well never mind. If you can’t believe the word of a gangster that ‘flashes’ a stolen gun then who can you believe?
There’s no way it could have been a bad drug deal; petty theft; or impulsive revenge for being disrespected, right?
The witnesses are all “brother” gang members. If the killing was contrued as murder, they would all be culpable. Why do the Daily News, the NY Post, and apparently, the police, give the BS “just showing the stolen gun around” the time of day?
***law enforcement sources described as an accidental discharge. ***
As we were taught in the 1966 military, “Accidents do not happen. They are CAUSED!”
In all my years of firearm handling I have had ONE SLAM FIRE with a .22 pistol. ONE.
My bet is on Disrespected. Accidentally shooting someone in the head? Not easily believed but the police and the courts are not likely to argue against accidental. No witnesses because snitches get stitches. Anyone who says anything to the police is going to be called a snitch.
