Friends and family of the 14-year-old killed by a hit-and-run driver in Kensington on Nov. 20 gathered at P.S. 130 to honor and remember his life.
Mohammad Nyam Uddin was fatally struck at the intersection of East Seventh Street and Caton Avenue last Thursday after a driver made a sharp left turn and drove off after hitting him.
The suspected driver, 78-year-old Lynn Reynolds, was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in a serious injury or death.
A vigil procession was held for the former valedictorian of his class. The event culminated with a moment of silence in front of the boy's home, just a few blocks from where the crash took place.
