A 16-year-old boy playing basketball at a Brooklyn park was fatally shot in the head Friday, authorities said.

Oluwadurotimi 'Timi' lived in Jamaica, Queens and attended Brooklyn Ascend HS.
He was likely not the intended target, ­police said. He was in the Chester Playground in Brownsville at 4 p.m. when he was gunned down. “As they were playing, shots were fired into the park. The shots were fired quite a distance away — over 100 feet,” said NYPD Deputy Chief Michael Kemper. The high-achieving academic teen and his sister came to the US from Lagos in 2013. “My son was a calm, quiet, obedient child,” grieving dad David Oyebola told The Post. “He’s intelligent. He loved sports and basketball. Very ambitious. He’s a boy who had a brighter future. He was constantly going for what he wanted to do in life. He wanted to become a doctor or an engineer.”
