The community in New Jersey remembers the 13-year-old, who was killed in the crash of Egg Harbor Township

A community in New Jersey came together to pay tribute to 13-year-old Mu'zahir Moore, who was killed in an accident in Egg Harbor Township at the weekend.

“He was only 13 years old,” said Leonard Robinson, Mu'zahir's uncle. “He had a lot to live.”

Family, friends and many in the sports community of South Jersey remember Mu'zahir, who was better known than “Mu”.

At the age of 13, his uncle says that the teenager had made a name for himself both on the basketball court and on the soccer field.

“He was looking forward to going to the college, going to the high school, everything that young athletes dream of,” said Robinson. “He was a bright point, a very bright point.”

Human quantities gathered in Atlantic City on Tuesday to celebrate life.

Mus trainer says that the eighth grader prepared for a basketball tournament on Saturday afternoon. He went home with a friend after leaving the Bargaintown Park in Egg Harbor Township. The police said that a 71-year-old driver had been pronounced to avoid another car near Delaware and Fernwood Avenue when he lost control, tipped over and hit the teenagers on the grass shoulder.

Mu died of his injuries in the hospital. His friend suffered minor injuries and was treated on site.

“He was dominant. He was something special on and next to the field, on and next to the basketball court,” said Tory Cavalieri with South Jersey Select Basketball program, “but he had something about him that every teacher and every trainer who trained him told him the same thing, his smile was infectious and his workforce was second.”

Cavalieri said he had trained since third grade.

“His name was out there to scouts and coaches who already keep an eye on this eighth grade class,” said Cavalieri.

“He was a wonderful child, modest, gentle, respectable, like a perfect child,” said Shanee Muhammad.

Mu was also part of the Pleasantville Jokers Youth Football League.

On Sunday, Muhammad helped to honor the community in organizing a vigil. Muhammad said that teams and coaches from all over the region appear to support his family.

Now both his basketball and the football coach said that they withdraw his jersey No. 4 and 1 as a further way to honor its effects in the community.

“Every ball he put in his hands would only conquer the moment,” said Muhammad.

The police said that the crash would continue to be examined.
