CAMBRIA HEIGHTS, Queens (WABC) -- The decision to donate the organs of a 13-year-old boy killed in a fatal shooting in Queens has saved the lives of four people.
The heart of Sanjay Samuel was transplanted and is now beating in another 13-year-old boy. A 15-year-old teen received Samuel's liver, while two adults in their 50s received his lungs, pancreas and kidney.
While on his way to school on Monday, Samuel was shot in the head in a parking lot of a Dunkin Donuts in Cambria Heights. A 16-year-old suspect accused of fatally shooting him is currently in custody facing up to 25 years in prison.
The president of LiveOnNY, a nonprofit which helps coordinate organ donation, said while the pain from Samuel's death is immeasurable, his donation to others will be felt for a lifetime.
