A teen whose grandmother struggled to keep him out of trouble after his mother died was shot to death in what neighbors described yesterday as turf warfare in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Jhaneek Muller, 16, was shot twice in the chest at 10:15p.m. Monday as he hung out with friends at the Tompkins Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant, police said.

Muller died at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.

"He was just in the wrong place with the wrong people. His friends here had problems with another group of Tompkins kids," said Muller's cousin, Sean Crandell, 32, who lives in the development.
