Plunge anguish

- Jennifer Bain, Caroll Alvarado, Larry Celona

Devastated friends of a teen who plunged to his death from a Brooklyn rooftop wept on the street Saturday just blocks from where he died.

More than a dozen mourning teens created a sidewalk memorial to Rame PierreLoui­s, 13, near his Bushwick home, releasing 15 white balloons in his memory.

“He was a good person,” said friend Isaiah Almodovar, 13. “He always got along with everybody.”

Rame was hanging out on the roof of a Grove Street building with a pal Friday evening when the teens, who were allegedly trespassin­g, heard someone yell that cops were coming, according to a source.

They tried to jump from one roof to another but fell four stories into a rear alley.

Rame suffered severe head trauma and was pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital. The other boy suffered a broken pelvis but is expected to survive.
