Family and friends held a vigil on what would have been Rahsaun Williams’ 40th birthday after he was shot and killed at the Pomonok Houses in Queens on Friday.
“This is unreal. I’m living a nightmare. I’m living my worst nightmare.” William’s mother Beverly Williams said.
Williams said a man groped Rahsaun’s girlfriend and she called him for help.
Rahsaun confronted the man to defend her, Williams said.
Police said that man then pulled out a gun and shot Rahsaun three times.
By the time Williams ran out to see her son, the ambulance sped past her.
Police are still searching for his killer.
“This is what he do. He sees he’s more about not letting anybody be taken advantage of,” Williams said.
“I’d be coming with groceries and he’d be standing in front of the building with his friends. And I’d come across and he would just come on over to me and just grab the court from the bags. He was like, I got it, you know, it’s okay. I got I got it. No, no, no. I got it. I got it,” Carmen Morales, a friend said.
