A 16-year-old boy was shot to death at a Brooklyn NYCHA complex, cops said Sunday.

The teen was shot in the chest on Auburn Place near N. Portland Ave. at the Walt Whitman Houses complex in Fort Greene about 11:45 p.m. Saturday, cops said.

Medics rushed the victim to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital but he couldn’t be saved.
