RICHMOND HILL — A man was shot multiple times in the neck and torso and killed in Queens Friday morning, police said.

Police found Raaid Ali, 23,  lying in the street outside his home at 107-57 114 St. around 12:15 a.m., according to the NYPD.

Family friend Areefah Saheb took to Facebook to mourn the loss of a man he described as being "like a little brother." 

"In every memory of him I recall how funny, charming and sweet he was, always making it a point to make us laugh," wrote Saheb. 

"I continue to pray and mourn for Raaid and the countless lives taken through soulless acts."

Ali was transported to Jamaica Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.

There have been no arrests and investigation is ongoing, said police.
