A 14-year-old boy was fatally shot in the head as he sat in a car in Brooklyn Friday night in the latest tragic ppisode of New York City youth violence.

Johary Cantave was in a white Mitsubishi at 46th Street and Ninth Avenue in Sunset Park – about seven blocks from his home – when gunfire erupted around 11:50 p.m., cops said.

The bullets flew as three unknown males got into a fight with a person outside the vehicle, police said.

The back window of the vehicle was blasted out by the gunfire, photos from the scene show.

The victim’s friend drove him to Maimonides Medical Center but he couldn’t be saved, cops said.

Police are looking for three males on mopeds, police sources said.

Youth violence across New York City hit historic highs last year, with staggering numbers of shooters and shooting victims under the age of 18, according to NYPD data released in January.

Last year, 14% of shooting victims and 18% of shooters were under 18 years old, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during an otherwise-triumphant news conference outlining historic drops in crime.
