The sister of the 20-year-old Williamsbridge man who was shot and killed inside a deli Thursday afternoon is speaking with News 12.

“This is crazy, I don’t wish this pain on anybody It’s unbearable," said Sorai King's sister.

Sorai King walked just one block to his local deli to get groceries for his mom when he was shot in the neck and chest. The gunmen were caught on camera fleeing the scene.

“I’m still thinking I’m dreaming - this got to be a dream, somebody please pinch me, not us," said his sister.

His family still searching for answers, telling News 12 King never had a problem with anyone.

“He was a good kid. Everybody loved that boy.”

His mother says Sorai was born in Harlem, and the family moved to the Bronx six years ago to give her youngest son a better life.
